Özet: This study was designed to examine the relationship between relational/overt aggression, prosocial behavior with Machiavellianism and empathy. Students from fourth to sixth grade classrooms (280) were selected randomly from four primary schools in Shiraz and completed the peer nomination scale, index of empathy and Kidde Mach scale. The results of the correlation approach suggested that both relational and overt aggression were associated with overall Machiavellianism and its subscales. The result of regression approach, suggested that empathy was a powerful variable for prediction of child’s social situation between their peers. Further research is needed to explain components of social competence.
