Multiple Linear Regression Analysis technique was used to determine predictive power of the solution focused approach and humor styles on interpersonal problem solving approaches. According to the results of correlation analysis, significant relations were revealed between solution focused approach and problem solving approaches and also between humor styles and problem solving approaches.
