Abstract

Preschoolers are expected to transition from parallel play, where they engage in similar activities next to peers, to social play, where they engage in direct interactions with peers. We use longitudinal, multiplex social network analysis to examine the transition between observed parallel and social play over a school year in a 3-year-old classroom (N = 25, 45% girls, 48% White) and a 4-year-old classroom (N = 28, 42.86% girls, 60.71% White). In both classrooms, the existence of a parallel play relationship between two children predicted the formation of a social play relationship between the same two children over time but not vice versa. Findings provide support for a unidirectional, sequential transition from parallel to social play with the same peers. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

了解学龄前平行游戏与社交游戏之间的发展过渡：多重社会网络分析。

学龄前儿童会从平行游戏过渡到社交游戏，在平行游戏中，他们会在同伴旁边进行类似的活动，在社交游戏中，他们会与同伴进行直接互动。我们采用纵向、多重社会网络分析方法，研究了一个 3 岁班级（人数=25，45% 为女孩，48% 为白人）和一个 4 岁班级（人数=28，42.86% 为女孩，60.71% 为白人）一学年中观察到的平行游戏和社交游戏之间的过渡情况。在这两个班级中，如果两个孩子之间存在平行游戏关系，则随着时间的推移，这两个孩子之间会形成社交游戏关系，反之亦然。研究结果支持从平行游戏到与同龄人社交游戏的单向、有序过渡。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。

期刊介绍： Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
