Personal and Situational Influences on Children's Helping Behavior: Factors That Mediate Complaint Helping.
Ladd, Gary W.; And Others
Child Development, v54 n2 p488-501 Apr 1983
Three studies were conducted to assess age-related changes in children's compliant helping behavior (helping directed toward a peer at an adult's request) in relationship to (1) information about another's need, (2) knowledge about how to help, and (3) the helper's perception of interpersonal and situational constraints on helping.
