In the study, Independent Groups t-Test, Mann-Whitney U Test, One Way Anova, Kruskal Wallis-H Test were used to analyze of data. According to the results of this study, prosocial behaviors towards peers differ based on age and gender; asocial behaviors towards peers differ based on age and type of kindergarten; anxiousness-fearfulness of children differs based on age, gender and type of kindergarten; exclusion by peers differs based on age, gender and type of kindergarten; hyperactivity of children differs based on age, gender and type of kindergarten; aggression towards peers differs based on gender and type of kindergarten and all these relationships are found to be significant. On the other hand, it was found that prosocial behaviors towards peers, asocial behaviors towards peers, anxiousness-fearfulness of children, exclusion by peers, hyperactivity of children and aggression towards peers did not show statistically significant differences according to the number of siblings and birth order of the child.
