Document Summary
Sharing: early awareness: sloane, baillargeon and premack, 2012, 19 month olds; violation of expectancy, know that things should be distributed evenly. Show two puppets, show two toys, one they give two toys to one person, and the other the toys are given equally, unequal result was surprising. Infants surprised at the unequal result, expect equal sharing. No not really, gave one maybe two candies from their 10. In india they gave more, and with less prompting. o only when requested, share 1-2, wont spontaneously share much. Children"s dictator game: smith, blake and harris, 2013, dictator game for kids, 3-8 years olds given set of high value stickers, can give some anonymous peer. All said they should give around half, actually gave 3-4 less than 25%, 5-6 gave 25%, 7-8 gave around 50%. Very honest, say they will keep more for themselves. Altruism and fairness: giving to others presumes that you have more.
