The participants of this study were composed of 99 Turkish children (between the ages of five and six). Sociometry Technique Based on Peer Nomination and Student–Teacher Relationship Scale (STRS) were used. According to results, levels of teacher–child closeness predicted the levels of being liked by peers. Levels of teacher–child conflict and closeness, significantly predict levels of being disliked by peers. Levels of teacher–child conflict and dependency not predict levels of being liked by peers. Also, levels of teacher–child dependency not predict levels of being disliked by peers.
