Aim. The aim of this study is to determine relationship between submissive behaviors and self esteem of nursing students and to determine the influence of some socio-demographic factors. Method. This descriptive research has been performed with 236 nursing students between November - December 2010. Research data was derived from a questionnaire that included three-partsnamely the sociodemographic Questionnaire, Coopersmith Self- Esteem State (CCES) and Submissive Acts Scale (SAS). The data were analyzed by using the SPSS program. Results. Average SAS and CSES levels of the participants were 37.14±9.26 and 68.56± 18.27 respectively.. CSES levels of the students were found to be significantly different among classes (P=0,005). There was no relation between sociodemographic factors and SAS.
