Abstract

Aim of this study is to investigate the linkage of attachment styles and social skill level and game behavior. In this context, a relational study with 100 students that were attending a pre-school educational establishment in Manisa province has been conducted. Results of the study has shown that attachment styles have a significant positive influence on social skill level and game behavior. A statistically significant relationship was found between social skill level and play behavior, and it can be said that social skill levels of children who developed social skill levels increased as well. Moreover, it has been found that social skill levels of pre-schoolers change by their genders, profession of their mothers and attachment styles, while game behavior changes by their attachment styles. It was found that attachment styles differed according to the education level of the mothers according to their occupations. When we look at demographic variables; It was concluded that the social skill levels of pre-school boys were higher. There was a statistically significant difference between the social skill levels of the mothers according to their occupations. According to this result, the average social skill level of children whose mothers work as workers was found to be significantly higher. Finally, social skills can not only be explained by attachment styles, but also demographic variables and cultural characteristics contribute to social skills; that the level of social skills has increased with the increase in participation and pre-school education; we can say that the child's experiences outside the family also affect his / her social development.
