Description

This study explores how individuals place meaning on play and use play to navigate the development of relationships not only with others, but with themselves. Using analyses of outside actors, symbolic interactionism, and accounts, this study explores young adults’ relationships with play through interviews on a college campus. The findings of this study suggest that multiple factors, such as the influences of outside actors and environments, influence how individuals develop a relationship with play.
