Rough - and - Tumble Play and Social Competence in Preschool Children

Sook Jae Lee

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to describe relations between the rough-and-tumble play of preschoolers and their social competence. The subjects were 61 4-year-olds and 59 5-year-olds. Children were observed on a day care center playground during free play time. Teachers were asked to rate the children`s social competence. The results indicated that the incidence of rough-and-tumble play varied according to the sex of the child and the physical environment of the playground. Children`s rough-and-tumble play was negatively correlated with measures of social competence.
