We investigated how children and adults evaluate the “niceness” of individuals who engage in resource distribution, with a focus on their sensitivity to the proportion of resources given. Across three experiments, subjects evaluated the niceness of a child who gave a quantity of pennies to another child. In Study 1 (N = 30), adults showed sensitivity to the proportion given whereas 5- and 7-year-old children did not. In Study 2 (N = 74), both younger (3- to 5-year-old) and older (6- to 8-year-old) children were sensitive to proportion only when resources were earned by a giver in collaboration with the recipient rather than by the giver alone. Adults, however, were sensitive to proportion in both cases. In Study 3 (N = 44), we tested 5- and 6-year-olds and their parents to be sure that socio-economic and ethnic differences between samples did not drive results and replicated key findings from Studies 1 and 2. Together, these findings indicate that children favor proportional resource distribution in situations that invoke intuitions about equity. We suggest that these intuitions may form the basis for adult notions of fairness and generosity.
