Risky Play and Social Behaviors among Japanese Preschoolers: Direct Observation Method

Natsuko Imai et al.

Summary: Limited evidence suggests that risky play may have potential health benefits for children. However, previous studies mostly relied on subjective methods for evaluation, limiting their validity and reliability. This study examined the relationship between the frequency of risky play and social behavior in Japanese preschoolers using direct observation. The results showed that, after adjusting for covariates such as gender, parental employment status, and physical activity, there was a significant association between risky play and prosocial behavior, but no significant association with problem behavior.
