Playfulness is an innate human trait crucial for making sense of the world, creativity, development of social skills and positive emotions. It is a trait which is strongly encouraged in children and young people but increasingly is being squeezed out in adulthood amidst the pressures and technologies of contemporary western society. It is often viewed as 'juvenile' and 'unproductive' use of time. Yet playfulness is celebrated in different forms within some arenas - particuarly the creative arts and sport - where the act of play is viewed as offering positive health and well-being benefits, actively encouraged as part of community cohesion agendas and providing spaces for creativity and entrepreneurial thinking. By engaging actively with these the arenas of creative arts & culture and sport, and drawing on the experiences and practices which encourage and celebrate playfulness, the proposed research will seek, firstly to characterise attributes of playfulness and, secondly to identify new research questions concerning ways in which it might be fostered in adults in order to promote flourishing, resilience, creativity and therefore enhance wellbeing for both individuals and communities. It will thus also explore how playfulness can help to reconnect people and communities, assisting to overcome conflict and dissonance but reducing isolation, stress, and alienation.

爱玩是人类与生俱来的特质，对理解世界、创造力、社交技能和积极情绪的发展至关重要。这是一种强烈鼓励儿童和年轻人的特质，但在当代西方社会的压力和技术的影响下，成年后越来越多地被挤出去。它通常被视为“幼稚”和“无益”的时间利用。然而，在一些领域，特别是创造性艺术和体育领域，人们以不同的形式庆祝玩耍，在这些领域，玩耍行为被视为对健康和福祉有积极的好处，被积极鼓励作为社区凝聚力议程的一部分，并为创造力和创业思维提供了空间。通过积极参与创意艺术、文化和体育的这些领域，并借鉴鼓励和庆祝玩乐的经验和实践，拟议的研究将寻求，首先描述玩乐的属性，其次确定新的研究问题，关于如何在成人中培养它，以促进繁荣、弹性、创造力，从而提高个人和社区的福祉。因此，它还将探讨玩耍如何帮助人们和社区重新建立联系，帮助克服冲突和不和谐，同时减少孤立、压力和异化。
