The goal of the present study was to examine the relations between different forms of children's nonsocial play behaviors and adjustment in kindergarten. The participants in this study were 77 kindergarten children (38 boys, 39 girls; mean age = 66.16 months, SD = 4.11 months). Mothers completed ratings of child shyness and emotion dysregulation. Children's nonsocial play behaviors (reticent, solitary-passive. solitary active) were observed during free play. In addition, teachers rated child behavior problems (internalizing and externalizing) and social competence; academic achievement was assessed through child interviews. Results from regression analyses revealed that different types of nonsocial play were differentially associated with child characteristics and indices of adjustment. For some forms of nonsocial play, the nature of these associations differed significantly for boys and girls.
本研究的目的是检验儿童不同形式的非社会性游戏行为与幼儿园适应情况之间的关系。本研究的参与者为77名幼儿园儿童（38名男孩，39名女孩；平均年龄=66.16个月，标准差=4.11个月）。母亲们完成了对孩子害羞和情绪失调的评分。在自由游戏期间观察儿童的非社会性游戏行为（沉默寡言、独自被动、独自主动）。此外，教师对儿童的行为问题（内化和外化）及社交能力进行了评分；通过儿童访谈评估学业成绩。回归分析结果显示，不同类型的非社会性游戏与儿童特征及适应指标存在不同程度的关联。对于某些形式的非社会性游戏，男孩和女孩在这些关联的性质上存在显著差异。
