Araştırmabulguları, hikâye anlama toplam puanları ile Zihin Kuramı Ölçeği toplampuanları arasında pozitif yönlü orta düzeyde bir ilişki (r=.46) olduğunugöstermiştir. Zihin Kuramı Ölçeği’nin alt boyutları ile Hikâye anlama toplam puanlarıarasındaki ilişki incelendiğinde, İçerikYanlış İnanış alt boyutu en yüksek korelasyon katsayısına (r=.43) sahipken,Farklı İstek alt boyutu en düşükkorelasyon katsayısına (r=.16) sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, çocukların hikâye anlama ve Zihin Kuramı puanlarıarasında cinsiyet değişkeni açısından kızların lehine anlamlı bir farkbulunmuştur. Çalışma bulguları ilgili alanyazın ışığında tartışılmıştır.

Thisstudy aims to reveal the relationship between preschool children’s storycomprehension and Theory of Mind skills. The study was conducted, using the correlationalsurvey model.

According to the findings, a moderate positivecorrelation was found between story comprehension and Theory of Mind (r = 46).The highest correlation between the subtasks of the Theory of Mind and storycomprehension was in the Content False Belieftask (r = 43), while the lowest correlation was in the Diverse Desires task (r = 16). Additionally, a significantdifference was found in favor of the girls between story comprehension andTheory of Mind in terms of gender.
