About the Research

Play is associated with regulatory behaviors such as delay of gratification and modulation of emotions, suggesting that play might positively relate to the physiological mechanisms underlying self-regulation. We hypothesized that opportunities for social free play with peers, as reported by mothers, would predict children’s autonomic regulation (via Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia) in a sample of 78 five-year-old children. As a proxy for play experience generally, frequency of social free play in the past week predicted higher levels of RSA functioning across three time points, baseline, stress, and recovery, but did not account for physiological rate of change between conditions. Social free play opportunities might positively influence children’s physiological functioning, at baseline and under stress, by supporting increased parasympathetic activation. This link deserves further exploration as children’s free play opportunities might be declining, yielding possible implications for children’s parasympathetic activation, social engagement, and prosocial behavior.

Jessie Shternshus founded The Improv Effect (https://improveffect.com) to help businesses reach their full potential by means of interpersonal-communication skills training. Her work includes leveraging tools and practices from improv to help individuals and organizations improve the way they interact and problem solve.  Jessie is also the author of the book CTRLShift: 50 Games For 50 ****ing Days Like Today. (amzn.to/2Qy0eAi)

In this interview, Jessie and I discuss ways in which improv practices can be used to improve your listening skills, develop your ability to read the room, and find more effective ways to respond. 

Personal Note: Jessie is brilliant, kind, and extremely patient. During the latter half of the conversation, I asked Jessie about one of the ways I often try to emphasize certain points in class or when I am presenting. In a supportive, kind, and patient way, she helped me see how that "habit" can impact the folks I am working with. I got completely schooled and I am grateful to her for the lesson.
