Why is the peer play code done?
To complement standardized assessments
Two types: video vs. live
What can be observed?

Parten’s Play Stages The first article examining play
behaviors among pre-school children Observed children’s play behavior and
categorized play based on what she observed
Play stages include› Onlooker› Independent Solitary play› Parallel activity› Cooperative/Organized supplementary play
Parten, B. Mildred. (1932) School Participation Among Pre-school Children

Peer-Play Code Developed a code that was
appropriate for our population of interest (children enrolled in HeadStart, Preschool, externalizing/internalizing behavior)
Incorporated Parten’s play research and work from others in the field (Fujuki, Brinton, Isaacson, & Summers, 2001; Parten, 1932; Qi & Kaiser, 2004; Rubin, 2001)

Coding Definitions Important points to consider when
developing definitions:› Behaviors
must be observable› Coders must be able to observe the
same behaviors› Reliability

Code
Event-positive/negative measures of autonomous behaviors or aggression while playing
Duration-codes used to specify play behaviors of children

Event Codes Child Initiated (CI): interactive
behavior (verbal or physical) by the target child toward a peer
Peer Initiated (PI): interactive behavior (verbal, non-verbal, physical) by a peer toward the target child that is complimentary and is followed by a peer behavior
Aggression (CA): any physical touch that is intended to be aversive, negative, or restrictive of the child’s activity

Duration Codes Following directions (FD): child is on
task, following teacher’s directions or engaging in appropriate behavior.
Parallel play (PP): the child is playing with toys similar to those used in the vicinity.
Associative play (AP): child plays with peer without role assignment. Distinguishing feature is the focus of the child.
Equal cooperative play (CPE): child is engaged in activity with others equally. Conversation should be present.
