Özet

Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between gender role stress levels and career plans of female university students. 

Design and Methods: The cross-sectional research was conducted with 775 female university students. 

Results: The gender role stress of the students was found to be moderate (69.4±16.9). Those who graduated from vocational high school, who could not freely make their career choice, and those who said that family and society were more effective in career choice, were significantly higher in gender role stress than other groups (p<0.05). 

Conclusions: It can be suggested that the education curriculum should be arranged in a way to reduce the gender role stress.
