Competence, Reticence, and Helping by Children and Adolescents.
Midlarsky, Elizabeth; Hannah, Mary Elizabeth
Developmental Psychology, v21 n3 p534-41 May 1985
Relation between age and helping behavior was examined in an experimental study in which children directly observed an emergency and had opportunity to intervene. A second study was then conducted, in which an emergency was staged, in order to elicit comments about factors that may inhibit helping behavior. Findings indicated a relationship between age and children's emergency intervention. (Author/DST)
