摘要：Children’s chronic exposure to violence negatively affects their social development even though the
level of violence is low. In the available literature, implementing prevention programs at early ages is suggested due
to being more effective and economic. Nevertheless, most of the violence prevention programs target adolescents.
Therefore, in this study, violence exposure levels of 62 children (3-6 ages) are examined through Violence Exposure
Scale (VEX-Violence Exposure Scale; Fox and Leavitt, 1995). The adapted version of VEX is administered through
individual interviews. The results indicated that at all settings (home, school, and neighborhood) preschool children
exposed to mild violence more than severe violence and almost all of the reported severe violence incidents occurred
in the neighborhood setting.
