The data of this research done to examine the relationship between childhood psychological trauma and automatic thoughts were collected from 1000 undergraduates studying at İstanbul Gelişim University, faculty of Fine Arts in the 2016-2017 academic year. In the research ?Childhood Trauma Questionnaire? and ?Automatic Thoughts Questionnaire? were used and the data were analyzed with IBM SPSS 23.0 The types of test analysis and model which were carried out are as follows: Independent samples t-test to compare the level of automatic thoughts of participants with childhood trauma and those with no childhood trauma; Pearson correlation analysis to determine the relationship between childhood trauma and automatic thoughts; multiple linear regression model, in which the dependent variable is automatic thought and the independent variable is childhood trauma, in order to determine the predictive power of childhood trauma level on automatic thoughts. In consequence of the research it was ascertained that there existed a positive and significant relation between childhood trauma and automatic thoughts and that automatic thought level of individuals with childhood trauma was statistically higher than those without childhood trauma. It was also found out that emotional abuse predicted automatic thoughts positively and significantyl and that physical abuse predicted automatic thoughts negatively and significantly.
