Relations between gender differences, social competence, anger-aggression, and anxiety-introversion are also examined. From the correlational and comparison type of General Scanning Model, Relational Screening is used. The study group is formed with 847 pre-school children (417 girls and 430 boys) who were 48-60 months-old and living in the center of Ankara. Social Competence and Behavior Evaluation Scale (SCBE-30) with a personal information form are used to collect data within the study. Frequency (f) and percentage (%), Arithmetic Mean ((X) over bar), Standard Deviation, Ss, Mann Whitney U Test, Correlation Analysis (Pearson Correlation Coefficient) were applied and significance level is determined as 0,05-0,01-. According to the findings, while there was a meaningful difference in favor of girls regarding social competence, the difference in terms of anger-agression was higher in boys. However, there was no statistically significant difference regarding anxiety-introversion, girls' arithmetic mean scores of anxiety-introversion were found higher than boys'.
