Sumario:Sociotropic personality trait is a personality trait characterized by an emphasis on sincerity, sharing, empathy, understanding, acceptance, commitment, protection, guidance and helping in interpersonal interactions. Sociotropic personality traits are considered in three dimensions, which are concern about disapproval, concern over separation, and pleasing others. Autonomic personality trait is a personality trait characterized by the individual's happiness of directing her own activities, reaching her/his goals, controlling what is happening around her/his and being successful. Autonomous personality characteristics involve three dimensions, which are individual achievement, freedom from control, and preference for solitude.  The study examines whether life satisfaction in university students is significantly predicted by gender; perceived socioeconomic level; concern about disapproval, concern over separation, and pleasing others as subfactors of sociotropy; and individual achievement, freedom from control, and preference for solitude as subfactors of autonomy. The study group consists of a total of 310 university students who are studying in two different public universities, were selected using the random sampling method, and voluntarily participated in the research. The “Satisfaction with Life Scale”, the “Sociotropy-Autonomy Scale”, and a “Personal Information Form” were employed to obtain the study data. Multilinear Regression Analysis was used for data analysis. The study found that life satisfaction levels of university students is significantly predicted by gender, perceived socioeconomic level; concern about disapproval, concern over separation, and pleasing others as subfactors of sociotropy. On the other hand, it was also found that individual achievement, freedom from control, and preference for solitude as subfactors of autonomy do not significantly predict life satisfaction levels of university students.
