This study evaluated the role of social skills as a mediator in the relationship between problem behaviours and academic self-esteem in preschoolers. The study included 189 randomly selected 5-yearold children attending preschool education in Turkey. As a result of the study, negative relationships were found between preschoolers' academic self-esteem, problem behaviours and social skills. As children's academic self-esteem and social skills increased, their problem behaviours decreased. Positive relationships were also found between children's social skills and academic self-esteem. Academic selfesteem was a major predictor of problem behaviours and social skills, and as academic self-esteem increased, so did children's social skills. In addition, social skills were shown to mediate the relationship between children's internalizing behaviour problems and academic self-esteem, however, these effects did not differ according to the presence or absence of externalizing behaviour problems. These findings show that internalising behaviour problems influence academic self-esteem in children in part via social skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
