Descriptive statistical values have been used in the analyse of the research. According to findings of the research, %36,7 of the university students can cry most by their close friends (f=90). Both female with %75,2 (f=124) and male with %55 (f=44) students have stated that they cry most when they are in despair. Most of the university students who took part in the research stated that after they cry they think more clearly (%30) , they get more affected to men’s crying than to women’s crying (%31) and they commiserate (%58) when they see an old person crying. They likewise state that they sometimes feel weak against crying people and perceive people who cry often as problematical.
