Özet

The aim of this study was to invastigate communication skill levels of University Students according to gender and early maladaptive schemas. The research group consisted of 210 students in Ondokuzmayis University, Education Faculty. "Evaluation of Communication Skills Inventory" and "Young Schema Scale" were administered to the research groups. MANOVA was used to analyze the data. The research pointed out that the effects of students' early maladaptive schemas and the gender factor on their levels of communiction skill when taken together are not significant. The essential influence of the gender factor (F(1.188)= 97.705; p<.001) alone on the level of communication skills is found to be significant. The point averages of communication skills of female students (X=158.73) is higher than the point averages of communication skills of male students (X=135.51) This finding shows that gender is an important factor in the communication skills of students.
