Youth playfulness and inter/intrapersonal resilience
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Resumo
There is an increasing number of studies that examine playfulness as a personality trait in young people and adults. However, compared childhood, the importance and role of play in adulthood are still not entirely clear. Conversely, it is looking for sources of resilience of young people and adults. Therefore, researchers are looking for sources of resilience in young people and adults. Therefore, the tasks of this research are to examine the playfulness of young people, investigate the inter/intrapersonal resilience of young people, and explore the connection between playfulness and inter/intrapersonal resilience in young people. Two hundred young people aged 19 to 29 participated in the research. The results indicate that young people achieved a moderately high score on the playfulness scale (AS=99.39, possible max=133), with significant differences in the scores on the Fun-seeking motivation subscale in relation to financial situation and gender. When it comes to inter/intrapersonal resilience there are also significant differences in related to financial situation and gender. Finally, the study shows a significant correlation between playfulness and inter/intrapersonal resilience (p=.00, Pearson coefficient.410**). Our study suggests the need for further research into potential ways to enhance young people’s playfulness in order to improve lives and wellbeing.
