打闹游戏（RTP）是父亲和孩子之间常见的一种游戏形式。有人认为RTP可以促进自我调节的发展。本研究提出了亲子RTP的频率与儿童早期身体攻击行为的频率有关的假设。父子在游戏过程中的支配关系可能会缓和父子之间的这种关系。研究人员对85名年龄在2岁至6岁之间的儿童与父亲在家中自由玩耍的过程进行了录像，并收集了过去一年中父子间RTP频率的问卷数据。根据父亲主导游戏互动的程度对游戏二人组进行评分。一个显著的统计相互作用显示，在父亲不太强势的孩子中，RTP频率与更高水平的身体攻击有关。这些结果表明，RTP确实与身体攻击有关，尽管这种关系受到父亲占主导地位的玩伴程度的影响。Aggr。中国生物医学工程学报，2009。(C) 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc。
Rough-and-tumble play (RTP) is a common form of play between fathers and children. It has been suggested that RTP can contribute to the development of selfregulation. This study addressed the hypothesis that the frequency of father-child RTP is related to the frequency of physically aggressive behavior in early childhood. This relationship was expected to be moderated by the dominance relationship between father and son during play. Eighty-five children between the ages of 2 and 6 years were videotaped during a free-play session with their fathers in their homes and questionnaire data was collected about father-child RTP frequency during the past year. The play dyads were rated for the degree to which the father dominated play interactions. A significant statistical interaction revealed that RTP frequency was associated with higher levels of physical aggression in children whose fathers were less dominant. These results indicate that RTP is indeed related to physical aggression, though this relationship is moderated by the degree to which the father is a dominant playmate. Aggr.
