Abstract | The present mixed-methods study examined perceived importance of play
in childhood, childhood happiness, perceived importance of play to children
nowadays, parent-child play time in relation to parent-child intimacy. Two hundred
and thirty-nine parents (74% female, mean age range = 31-40) participated in this
study. There were two phases in the current study. Participants’ childhood play and
parent-child play experience were measured by a questionnaire in Phase 1. Twenty
participants (74% female) among those who consented for Phase 2 were randomly
selected for a qualitative interview on one’s childhood play experience.
Quantitative findings showed that perceived importance of play in childhood and
amount of parent-child playtime were associated with parent-child intimacy.
Furthermore, the amount of parent-child playtime significantly mediated the effect
of perceived importance of play in childhood on the level of parent-child intimacy.
Qualitative findings provided examples of parent-child play, beliefs and attitudes
of play of the parents in the previous generations. These findings emphasize the
importance parent’s engagement and reciprocal exchange in parent-child play in
facilitating the intimacy and bonding between parent and child.
