Student Capstones and Thesis Work

It was genuinely difficult to keep up with the staggering volume of galleries, exhibitions, original research and video presentations New Paltz students published at the end of the 2019-20 academic year. We'd like to take time this summer to spotlight individual projects and give this exceptional scholarship and creative work its due.

Today we're looking at a study of play fulfillment in adults by students and faculty in the Department of Psychology, presented as part of the 2020 Student Research Symposium.

College Students' Experience with Play
Ann Marie DeBonis '21g (Psychological Science), Ash Moquin '20 (Psychology), Theresa Paras '20 (Psychology), Kanjira Rodriguez '20 (Psychology)

"Prior to this study, this lab had created a four-item scale known as the Adult Play Fulfillment Index (APFI), for the purpose of measuring play fulfillment in adults ... The purpose of this current study was to continue psychometric evaluation of the APFI, which measures the extent to which the respondent feels that their need to engage in preferred play activities during the past two weeks has been met ... Specifically, it was hypothesized that those low in play fulfillment will engage in play longer and experience greater benefits in positive emotion compared to those who score high in play fulfillment."
