Summary
<p>ABSTRACT The major objective of the current study was to examine whether or not perceptions of teachers and mothers concerning their relationships with preschool children would be similar to each other. It was hypothesized that the relationship perception of teachers and mothers with the same child would be expected to have similar relationship patterns. There were two main questions in the study. One of which is how relationship perception of teachers and mothers are correlated and to what extent these relationships are correlated. The other question was to what extent these relationships were influenced by gender of children. The correlational analysis yielded that none of the conflict, closeness and dependency factors were statistically significant for teacher’s and mother’s reports; i.e. their ideas did not match in term of these three factors considering their relationships. Although gender was not found as an effective factor for mothers, teachers perceived conflict with only boys rather than girls.
