Abstract

Childhood is one of the most important stages in a person's life, as the first personality traits are formed and the basic building blocks for mental, social, and emotional growth are laid. Hence, studying how children acquire concepts is a very important topic, so our research came to present one of these concepts, as the research topic aims to understand conflict resolution for Iraqi children, and aims to identify: 1. Understanding conflict resolution according to the variables: A. Age (5, 6, 7( B. Gender (males, females( 2. Identifying the significance of differences according to the variables: A.

Gender (males, females( The research sample included (180) boys and girls distributed over three ages (5-6-7) years, (60) children for each age group and distributed equally between the sexes. The researcher prepared a tool to measure children's understanding of conflict resolution. It consisted of eight stories interspersed with two questions on each story and a qualitative question. The researcher extracted the apparent validity. The stability of the tool was verified by the Cronbach's alpha coefficient and the test-retest method. The results of the research were as follows: 1. Children at the age of (5) years do not have an understanding of conflict resolution. 2. Understanding conflict resolution appears in children at the age of (6) years. 3. Children at the age of (7) years have a high understanding of conflict resolution. 4. There is no effect of gender in understanding conflict resolution.
