In the research results presentation, I focused on exploring the various connections between play and emotions. By visualizing the theme pictures and trying different ways of expression in the research, I wanted to construct a spatial narrative to build a personal experience between the theme and the audience.

Research Proposal Brief | Research Outcome session

Playfulness is a fundamental element that bridges human development and emotional well-being. To define the connection between play and human flourishing, this research will focus on two critical life stages—childhood and adulthood—exploring the behaviors of children and adults through their engagement with playful activities. Grounded in the principles of Play Therapy, which recognizes play as a natural medium for expressing emotions, resolving conflicts, and fostering resilience, the study will investigate how playfulness behaviors contribute to psychological health across different ages. Through the lens of behavioral psychology, where actions are shaped by reinforcement, emotional conditioning, and adaptive regulation, the project will trace how playful behavior evolves yet remains a vital emotional resource throughout life. This research aims to create a storytelling framework that reimagines the role of playfulness—not merely as a childhood pastime, but as a powerful, lifelong force for healing, connection, and self-expression.
