Özet:The aim of this study is to measure the perceived parental attitudes of Turkish college students towards dating and premarital sexual behavior and to examine how these attitudes differ with respect to gender of the students and parental marital status. The participants of the present study were 160 college students.

There was a significant gender difference about perceived parental attitudes toward premarital sexual behavior; male students perceived their parents̕ attitudes as more permissive toward premarital sexual behavior, but female students perceived their parents̕ attitudes as less permissive toward premarital sexual behavior. However, in terms of parental attitudes toward dating, there was no significant difference due to gender.

The interaction of gender and parental marital status were both significant due to perceived parental attitudes toward dating behavior F(1,155)= 12.41, p<.01 and due
