Purpose The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between self‐esteem, perception of gender, and attitudes towards dating violence among university students. Design and Methods This descriptive study with a correlational and cross‐sectional design was conducted with the participation of 686 university students. Findings Mother's educational level, gender, having a dating relationship, being exposed to dating violence in the relationship, perception of gender, self‐esteem, and being exposed to/witnessing sexual/domestic violence were determined to be statistically significant predictive factors of the attitudes of the students towards dating violence.
