Summary/Abstract: This study aims to determine the personal and social factors related to prosocial and aggressive behaviors among university students. 429 university students took part in the study. The levels of prosocial and aggressive behaviors were determined with Prosocial and Aggressive Behaviors Questionnaire. The Resilience Scale for Adults was used to assess levels of personal and social variables. The relationships among study variables were examined with t-test, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis. The female students were found to show more prosocial behaviors and less aggressive behaviors than male students. Regression analyses demonstrated that perception of self, social competence, relationships with family and friends were positive predictors of prosocial behaviors. Perception of self and future, family cohesion, quality of relationships with family and friends were found to negatively predict aggressive behaviors. The findings of the study were evaluated with regard to social and emotional characteristics of young adulthood. Suggestions for future research and educational activities for university students were discussed.
