Abstract
This research was conducted to investigate the relationship between personality traits and violence types in university students.

The data were collected by using the "Short Version of International Personality Inventory" and "Buss Perry Aggression Scale" and analyzed with the descriptive statistical methods (Frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation), Pearson Correlation Analysis and Linear Regression Analysis) and SPSS 23.0 package program, and the results were assessed in a 95% confidence interval and on a p <0.05 significance level, and it was determined that there was a statistically significant relationship between "types of violence" and "personality traits", and that violence types predicted personality traits: verbal aggression, one of violence behaviors, predicted extroversion, one of personality traits, significantly and positively and introversion significantly and negatively; indirect aggressiveness, one of violence behaviors, predicted extroversion, hostility and disorganization significantly and positively and responsibility and emotional imbalance significantly and negatively; hostility, one of violence behaviors, predicted introversion, responsibility, emotional imbalance and resistance to new experience significantly and positively, and extroversion significantly and negatively; anger, one of violence behaviors, predicted introversion, disorganization, emotional imbalance and openness to new experience significantly and positively; and physical aggression, one of violence behaviors, predicted acquiescence and openness to new experience significantly and negatively. These results are important for the increasing amount of destructive violence, the understanding of the relationship between the type of violence and personality traits, the determination of explanatory power, the use of information obtained to increase the multidisciplinary approach in reducing the occurrence of violence in the society, and both clinical and non-clinical studies
