Abstract	The study aims to reveal the effect of the need for social approval on the prediction of attitudes towards the teaching profession, which has an important role in teachers' behaviors in educational settings. In this way, the effect and importance of the need for social approval such as sensitivity to the judgments of others, social retreat, and making a positive impression on others were examined. The research model was carried out according to the correlational survey model from quantitative research methods. The population of the study has consisted of university students studying at the Faculty of Education in a university located in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey, and the sample has consisted of 478 pre-service teachers. The sample of the study was determined according to the convenience sampling method. The data in the study were obtained by "Attitude scale towards the teaching profession" and "Social approval needs scale". Independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis were used to analyze the data. As a result of the research, it was determined that the attitudes of pre-service teachers towards the teaching profession were "high" and social approval needs were "moderate". In the study, it was determined that the social approval need of the pre-service teachers is a significant predictor of the attitude towards the teaching profession. On the other hand, it was determined that the variables of sensitivity to the judgments of others and leaving a positive impression on others are significant predictors of attitudes towards the teaching profession, while the social retreat variable does not predict significantly.
