Motivation and Competence as Determinants of Young Children's Reward Allocation
Nelson, Sharon A.; Dweck, Carol S.
Developmental Psychology, 13, 3, 192-197, May 77

Results showed that when the demand for equity was explicit and self-interest was removed, all children used equity in allocating rewards. (Author/JMB)
