摘要:One of the objectives of this study is to investigate the views and experiences of university students regarding violence against women in terms of several variables. The other is to investigate the relationship between university students’ views and experiences and their life satisfaction levels. The research group is 298 prospective teachers who attend Dokuz Eylül University Buca Faculty of Education. In order to determine the participants’ demographic characteristics and their views and experiences regarding violence against women, an interview form, designed by the researchers, was used. Also, a Life Satisfaction Scale was used to identify their life satisfaction levels. The results reveal that female students support men-women equality in terms of financial freedom, career and domestic works more than male students do. However, female participants were found to have more traditional views in comparison to married women in terms of gender roles in regard to physical violence (beating). Life satisfaction levels of students who experienced violence in family were found meaningfully lower than the life satisfaction levels of those who did not. Similarly, life satisfaction levels of students whom witnessed violence in family were meaningfully lower than those who did not. It is thought that studies increasing prospective teachers’ awareness to prevent violence against women create a mentality change and inform them about their legal rights and legal processes are needed.
