Children's Playfulness Scale (Cps)

Barnett, L.A 

The identification of 5 underlying components of the playfulness construct (physical spontaneity, social spontaneity, cognitive spontaneity, manifest joy, amd sense of humour) are specified and validated. Factor - analytic procedures confirm the existence of the general playfulness factor and the 5 dimensions, and reproduced the same factor structure and pattern across independant samples and raters and across 2 types of response format. The relationship between the CPS and other extant play measures were explored. The CPS appears to be a viable measure of young children's playful predispositions.
