The data of the study were collected through an online questionnaire using the Socio-demographic Information Form and the Respect for Differences Scale (RDS). Hypothesis tests and correlation analysis were used to analyze the data.When the findings of this study were examined, it was found that (1) female students had a higher level of respect for differences. (2) Students who do not think they are prejudiced have higher levels of respect for differences. (3) No relationship was found between the ages of the participants and their level of respect for differences. (4) It was found that the participants did not differ significantly according to their department preference and sexual orientations. (5) It was observed that there was no significant difference according to the place where the participants lived for the longest time, their family types, their parents' education level and class level. (6) It was revealed that the participants who stated that they had difficulty in respecting differences in sexual orientation had lower average scores and their level of respect for differences was also lower.According to the results obtained from the analyzes, it is thought that significant and expected results have been achieved in line with the education that the students received. It should be stated that if the content of social work education provided in universities is formed in line with an understanding that emphasizes professional ethical principles and values, then it will contribute more to the development of the profession and the maintenance of social welfare.
