This study aimed to determine whether liking of children is correlated with and a predictor of attitudes toward children’s rights. Data were collected from 270 preservice early childhood teachers studying at one of public universities in Turkey. Results indicated that pre-service early childhood teachers’ liking of children was significantly correlated with their attitudes toward children’s rights, r = .364, p < .01 and that attitudes toward children’s rights were significantly predicted by liking of children, F(1,240) = 36.58, p < .01. A little more than 13% of the variance of attitudes toward children’s rights was accounted for by its linear relationship with liking of children.
