Abstract (2. Language): 
The issues of social responsibility have recently gained a significant interest in the accounting education. International Education Standards about professional ethics in accounting have made a significant contribution to the perception of these emerging issues. This paper exhibits the attitudes of students to the concept of social responsibility accounting and also investigates the qualitative factors that may affect the attitudes towards this concept by selecting a sample from Akdeniz University. The study includes university education level, gender and grade point average as qualitative factors for its impact on attitudes towards social responsibility accounting.
