The sample of the study consisted of 340 children selected by stratified sampling method from the population. Data were collected through Personal Information Form, Child Ego Resilience Scale and Self-Regulation Skills Scale for 4–6 Year Old Children (Teacher Form). Correlation, regression analysis, one-way analysis of variance and t-test were used to analyze the data. In the study, it was determined that children had above average ego resilience and self-regulation skills. A significant, moderate and positive relationship was found between the total score of the ego resilience scale and the total score of the self-regulation skills scale. According to the score, it was determined that the ego resilience levels of 60–72-month-old children were above average. As a result, it was concluded that ego resilience of 60–72-month-old children significantly predicted their self-regulation skills. © 2025 Elsevier Masson SASeninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessChildrenEgo resilienceSelf-regulationArticle10.1016/j.amp.2025.12.0052-s2.0-105027815356Q2
