This aim of this study was to investigate an unexpected finding from a larger study examining the play of preschool children with and without developmental coordination disorder (DCD). We found that children with DCD were more frequently involved in aggressive incidents during free-play than their peers. Children with (n=32) and without DCD (n=31) were videotaped during free-play at preschool and their play was assessed using the Play Observation Scale. A post hoc analysis was conducted using a specifically developed rating instrument to examine the aggressive incidents captured on video. Videos from 18 children with DCD and 8 typically developing children without DCD were found to contain aggressive incidents. Children with DCD were significantly more often involved as both aggressor (p=.016) and victim (p=.008) than children without DCD (p=.031). This is the first study to identify victimization and aggression as being problematic for children with DCD as young as 4 years of age and needs replication. Given the negative consequences of involvement in aggression and victimization, play-based early intervention focusing on prevention needs to be developed and implemented.
这项研究的目的是调查一项更大规模研究中的一个意外发现，该研究旨在观察有和没有发育性协调障碍（DCD）的学龄前儿童的游戏。我们发现，在自由游戏中，患有 DCD 的儿童比他们的同龄人更频繁地卷入攻击事件。在幼儿园，我们对（n=32）和没有 DCD 的儿童（n=31）进行了自由游戏的录像，并使用游戏观察量表对他们的游戏进行了评估。使用专门开发的评分工具对视频中捕捉到的攻击事件进行了事后分析。发现 18 名患有 DCD 的儿童和 8 名没有发育性协调障碍的典型发展儿童的视频中存在攻击事件。患有 DCD 的儿童作为攻击者（p=.016）和受害者（p=.008）的比例明显高于没有 DCD 的儿童（p=.031）。这是第一项发现 4 岁以下患有 DCD 的儿童存在受害和攻击问题的研究，需要进行复制。鉴于卷入攻击和受害的负面影响，需要制定和实施以预防为重点的基于游戏的早期干预措施。
