本研究采用小规模的探索性研究，考察了8- 11岁中国儿童的社会游戏。半结构化的采访进行了六个自我选择对儿童在六个自然环境（两个家庭，两个公园，两个游乐场）。儿童对采访问题的回答以及他们在采访期间自发的玩耍活动被录音并根据转录进行主题分析。假装游戏和有规则的游戏被发现是这些孩子中两种流行的社交游戏类型。社会游戏活动具有现实性与创造性相结合、变化性与一致性相结合、冲突性与妥协性相结合等三个特征。根据儿童自己的观点，在游戏中受到适当的挑战、公平和拥有自主权对他们来说很重要。儿童在游戏中也表现出积极的情绪，在没有机会游戏时表现出消极的情绪。研究的局限性和影响进行了讨论。
This paper presents a small-scale exploratory study investigating social play among 8- to 11-year-old Chinese children. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six self-selected pairs of children in six natural settings (two homes, two parks, and two playgrounds). Children’s responses to the interview questions and their spontaneous play activities during the interview were audio-recorded and analysed thematically based on transcription. Pretend play and games with rules were found to be two popular types of social play among these children. Three features of social play activities were identified: combination of real-life elements and creation, combination of variation and consistency, and combination of conflicts and compromises. According to children’s own perspectives, being appropriately challenged, being fair, and having autonomy were important for them during play. Children also reported positive emotions during play and negative emotions when not having opportunity to play. Limitations and implications of the study are discussed.
