Effects of Competition and Relative Deservedness of the Other's Fate on Children's Generosity
Barnett, Mark A.
Developmental Psychology, 11, 5, 665-666, Sep 75
This study indicated that the child's decision to respond generously to the needs of others may be a function of his evaluation of the relative fairness and deservedness of the other's plight. Whether competition renders the child less responsive is a subject for further research. (JMB)
