Heller, Kirby A.; Berndt, Thomas J.
Child Development, v52 n2 p683-91 Jun 1981
Thirty kindergarten children, 30 third graders, 30 sixth graders, and 30 college students were told two stories in which an actor behaved either generously or selfishly. Subjects then predicted and rated the actor's behavior in 10 life-like situations that provided opportunities for generous behavior as well as behaviors similar to generosity (e.g. helping).
