nChildren's moral judgments of resource distributions as having "fair" or "unfair" origins play an important role in early social cognition. What factors shape these judgments?

McAuliffe, Katherine; Blake, Peter R.; Warneken, Felix – Developmental Psychology, 2020
Advantageous inequity aversion emerges relatively late in child development, yet the mechanisms explaining its late emergence are poorly understood.

Thus, group bias appears to be particularly influential when enforcing fairness…

Blake, Peter R.; McAuliffe, Katherine – Cognition, 2011
Research using economic games has demonstrated that adults are willing to sacrifice rewards in order to prevent inequity both when they receive less than a social partner (disadvantageous inequity) and when they receive more (advantageous inequity). We investigated the development of both forms of inequity aversion in 4- to 8-year-olds using a…

Blake, Peter R.; Harris, Paul L. – New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development, 2011

Blake, Peter R.; Ganea, Patricia A.; Harris, Paul L. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2012
Children can identify owners either by seeing a person in possession of an object (a visual cue) and inferring that they are the owner or by hearing testimony about a claim of ownership (a verbal cue). A total of 391 children between 2.5 and 6 years of age were tested in three experiments assessing how children identify owners when these two cues…
