Abstract The objective of the present study is to investigate social problem solving skills of undergraduate students in vocational music training. Scanning model was used in the study and 162 music education program students were included in the study group. Data collection tools utilized in the study were the “Personal Information Form” developed by the author and Social Problem Solving Inventory – Short Form developed by D’Zurilla et al. Study findings demonstrated that positive orientation of the students were higher than their negative orientationon the problem. Furthermore, it was found that their “rational problem solving” levels were higher than “inattentive and avoidant type.” It was also found that scores of the junior students were lower than sophomores in “avoidant type” subscale based on the grade level variable. And based on the type of high school graduated, it was determined that negative orientation of general high school graduate students were lower than that of the students who graduated from fine arts and sports high schools.
