Psychology childhood anxiety pretend play mood induction <p>Children endorsing anxiety traits can potentially use play as a way to experience, access, and adjust to positive and negative emotional experiences. The present study investigated the relationship between play skills and anxiety in young school-aged children. Forty-three children were randomly assigned to either an anxious mood induction condition or control condition.</p><p>Results of this study indicated the anxious and control groups did not differ in play processes following the mood manipulation procedure. Overall, children in both conditions had significantly better play scores following the mood manipulation procedure when compared to baseline. In addition, a significant negative correlation was found between self-reported state anxiety and baseline Organization scores. Within the anxious mood induction condition, grade acted as a significant moderator on participant’s baseline and post-mood induction play scores. Third graders had significantly more organization, imagination, comfort, and affect in their play when compared to first and second grade children.</p> 2009 English text Case Western Reserve University School of Graduate Studies / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1223656658 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=case1223656658 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
