Abstract
In this study, the relationship between quality of life and the self-regulation skills of preschool children between the ages of 4 and 6 was examined. In this context, data was collected from 855 mothers living in seven different geographical regions of Türkiye. Children's quality of life was assessed by their mothers using the "Kindl Quality of Life Scale," and their self-regulation skills were assessed using the "Self-Regulation Skills Scale." Pearson correlation coefficients and multiple linear regression analyses were used to analyze the data. According to the results of the study, there were positive and significant relationships between children's quality of life and self-regulation skills sub-dimensions. In addition, it was concluded that children's quality of life was significantly positively predicted by the self-regulation sub-dimensions of attention, working memory, inhibitory control emotion, and inhibitory control behavior. The results obtained were discussed within the scope of the relevant literature, and some suggestions were provided, taking into account the study's limitations.
