Analyzes were performed using the SPSS 20.0 package\rprogram. As a result of the analysis, negative and significant correlations between the social status scores\rof the 5-year-old preschoolers and their persistence and rhythmical subscale scores were found. Girls’ social\rstatuses and persistence were determined to be higher than boys. Depending on the level of parental\reducation, social statuses and persistence showed a positive reactivity and a negative and significant\rdifferentiation. There was a significant differentiation between birth order and reactivity. Children living\rin nuclear families were found to be more persistent than children in extended families.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle2652112132510506
