Reciprocity of Exchange in Toddler Sharing Behavior.
Levitt, Mary J.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v21 n1 p122-23 Jan 1985
Pairs of toddlers were observed with mothers in a context structured to assess sharing behavior. Children were separated by a barrier; one child had toys and the other had no toys. The situation was then reversed. Sharing for the initially deprived peer was related to extent to which the partner had shared, suggesting operation of principle of reciprocal exchange. (Author/DST)
