The sample of the study consisted of 343 single women. In the study, data were collected online via google form, using personal information form, Marriage Anxiety Scale and Pre-Pregnancy Fear of Birth Scale. The data were evaluated with descriptive statistics such as number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, as well as t test, anova, pearson correlation analysis, Cronbach's alpha analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. In the study, it was determined that there was a significant relationship between women's employment status, income level and presence of partners and the total score of the marriage anxiety scale(p<0.05). A moderately significant positive correlation was found between the Marriage Anxiety Scale of single women and the total mean score of the Pre-Pregnancy Fear of Birth Scale (r=0.302; p<0.001). It was determined that there was no significant relationship between the women's age, education level, duration of partner partnership, parental relationship status, knowledge about birth and future birth style preference and the total score of the marriage anxiety scale (p>0.05).

This research aims to determine the students' usage of the internet for sexuality and its effect on the exposure to sexual cyber aggression and their sexual attitudes.

The data were collected using participant information form, which was prepared by researchers, the Hendrick Sexual Attitudes Scale, and Cyber Aggression in Relationships Scale. While making statistical evaluation, percentage distribution, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, chi-square, Cronbach Alpha reliability analysis and backward stepwise logistic regression analysis were used. Results: In the study, 33.4% of the students use the internet to learn about sexuality, 14.5% of the students stated that they were exposed to sexual cyber aggression. Besides, the students who were exposed to sexual cyber aggression were found to have more negative sexual attitudes and carried out more cyber aggression in their relationships (p<0.05). As a result of the backward stepwise logistic regression analysis made in the study, it was found that women were exposed to sexual cyber aggression 4.19 times more, while those who chat sexual topics through the internet 5.95 times more (p<0.05). Conclusion: A significant number of students use the internet to search for sexual topics and they were exposed to sexual cyber aggressions.
