Examination of the psychological well-being of preschool children and the psychological well-being of their parents and teachers

The aim of this study is to examine the psychological well-being of preschool children and the psychological well-being of their parents and teachers according to various sociodemographic variables. The sample of this survey research, one of the quantitative research types, consisted of preschool children aged 5-6 and their parents and teachers. As a data collection tool in this study, the Psychological Well-Being Scale for 5-6-Year-Old Children was used for children, and the Psychological Well-Being Scale was used for parents and teachers. As a result of the research, it was determined that the psychological well-being levels of preschool children, their parents and preschool teachers were high. Although there was a positive and significant relationship between the psychological well-being of preschool children and the psychological well-being of their parents, no relationship was found between the psychological well-being of children and their teachers'. Significant differences were determined in the psychological well-being of children based on the child's age, duration of preschool education, monthly income of the family, and educational status of the mother and father. Also, a significant difference was found in the psychological well-being of the parents based on their marital status, mother's education level, mother's age and monthly income. Lastly, significant differences were determined in the psychological well-being of preschool teachers according to their gender, age, education level, age group they worked with, type of school they worked in, and class size.
