Abstract

Preschool age is a crucial period to foster children's prosocial behavior using imaginative play. This study aims to determine the relationship between imaginative play and prosocial behavior, with inhibitory control as a moderator. The instruments used are the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) dimensions of prosocial behavior, the Child Imagination Questionnaire (CIQ), and Head-Toes-Knees-Shoulders Task. Participants were preschool children aged 3–6 years (n = 75). Parents and teachers of children are also involved in administering the data. The results show that there are differences in the assessment results between teachers and parents. The teachers' assessment result shows a significant relationship between imaginative play and prosocial behavior [(75)=0.501, p<0.05, r2=0.251, one-tailed], and inhibitory control moderate the relationship between imaginative play and prosocial behavior (R2=0.4831, p=0.000). However, the correlation among the three variables was found to be non-significant in the parents’ assessment. Inhibitory control also does not moderate the relationship between imaginative play and prosocial behavior. The different results between teachers' and parents' assessments are explained further in this paper.
