Abstract
This study, which was conducted to determine the relationship between play behaviors and perspective-taking levels of 36-72-month-old children and to determine the effect of sex and age variables that may be effective on play behaviors and perspective-taking levels, is a descriptive research in the relational screening model. The study group consisted of 147 children aged 36-72 months attending kindergartens and preschools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education and private kindergartens in Antakya, Hatay province center, and their teachers (15). In the study, the General Information Form created by the researchers, the Play Behavior Scale for 36-71 Month-old Children and the Children’s Perspective Taking Test (PCT) were used. Among the sub-dimension and total scores of the Play Behavior Scale for 36-71 Month-old Children and the Perspective Taking Test for Children (PTC): It was found that there was a low level negative significant relationship between perceptual perspective and quiet behavior. There was a low level positive significant relationship between perceptual perspective and social play; between cognitive perspective and push and shove play; and between total perspective and social play. There was a significant difference in perceptual, cognitive and total perspective taking according to age. In the study, it was found that there was a significant relationship between children's perspective-taking skills and play behaviors.
