Abstract: The current study aims to examine the relationship between prejudice and self-esteem among Yemeni university students in Turkey. The differences on prejudice and self-esteem were also examined by gender, age, city of living, scholarship and academic specialization. The current study was conducted with 308 Yemeni university students studying in nine different Turkish cities. The prejudice scale and Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used to collect the data of study. Results have found that prejudice was negatively correlated with self-esteem. Prejudice is a major factor and has sub-factors, all of which are closely related. Moreover, it was found that there were significant differences on prejudice attributed to gender, age and scholarship, while the other variables did not show any differences on prejudice. There are also significant differences on self-esteem by gender and department of students, but the rest of the variables did not show significant differences on self-esteem. The findings of the study were discussed with the relevant literature.
