AB  - In this study, the relationship between body image scores perceived and desired by children in early childhood and body dissatisfaction was investigated. The relational survey method, one of the quantitative research methods, was used in the study. A total of 539 children (268 boys and 271 girls) between the ages of 4 and 6 attending seven state kindergartens in Adana were included in the study. The pictogram scale for children developed by Colllins (1991) was used to determine body image. In addition, anthropometric measurements were made to calculate the body mass index of the children. Data were analyzed according to the distribution of BMI z-scores of boys and girls according to current body shape. Given that the data were not normal, the Spearman correlation coefficient was used to confirm the correlation between the BMI z-score and the current body size and degree of body dissatisfaction in both sexes. The SPSS 26 statistical package program was used in the analysis of the data. While girls want a slimmer body from their children, boys, on the contrary, want a larger body. It shows that about 34% of children have body dissatisfaction.

N2  - Bu araştırmada, erken çocukluk döneminde çocukların bedenlerine ilişkin algıladıkları ve arzu ettikleri beden algısı puanları ile beden memnuniyetsizlikleri arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Araştırmada nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden ilişkisel tarama yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya Adana ilinde yedi devlet anaokuluna devam eden 4-6 yaş arası toplam 539 çocuk (268 oğlan ve 271 kız) dâhil edilmiştir. Beden algısının belirlenmesinde, Collins (1991) tarafından geliştirilen çocuklar için piktogram ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca çocukların beden kitle endeksi hesaplaması için antropmetrik ölçümler yapılmıştır. Veriler, mevcut vücut şekline göre kız ve oğlan çocuklarının BMI z skorlarının dağılımına göre analiz edildi. Verilerin normal olmadığı göz önüne alındığında, her iki cinsiyette BMI z-skoru ile mevcut vücut boyutu ve vücut memnuniyetsizlik derecesi arasındaki korelasyonu doğrulamak için Spearman korelasyon katsayısı kullanıldı. Verilerin analizinde SPSS 26 istatistik paket programı kullanılmıştır. Çocuklardan kızlar daha ince bir vücut isterken, oğlanlar aksine daha büyük bir vücut istemektedir. Ayrıca, katılımcı çocukların yaklaşık %34'ü vücut memnuniyetsizliğine sahiptir.
