有利的不平等厌恶在儿童发展中出现的时间相对较晚，但解释其较晚出现的机制却鲜为人知。在这里，我们问，一旦声誉方面的担忧到位，孩子们是否开始拒绝有利的不公平，这是一种代价高昂的公平形式。具体地说，我们考察了同行监督在促进公平行为方面的作用。在研究1(N=212对；年龄从6到9岁)中，我们测试了儿童是否不太可能拒绝有利的分配，这取决于谁知道他们的行为。结果表明，当同龄人不知道自己的优势时，孩子更有可能接受有利的分配。在研究2(N=134对；8岁和9岁)中，我们发现这种影响是由受影响的同行伙伴是否能看到分配而不是第三方同行观察者是否看到决定而具体驱动的。总而言之，这些结果揭示了影响儿童公平发展的因素，更具体地说，表明有利的不公平厌恶受到对那些处于不利地位的人表现出公平的愿望的影响。(JuncINFO数据库记录(C)2020 APA，版权所有)。
Advantageous inequity aversion emerges relatively late in child development, yet the mechanisms explaining its late emergence are poorly understood. Here, we ask whether children begin to reject advantageous inequity, a costly form of fairness, once reputational concerns are in place. Specifically, we examine the role of peer monitoring in promoting fair behavior. In Study 1 (N = 212 pairs; Ages 6 to 9), we test whether children are less likely to reject advantageous allocations depending on who is aware of their behavior. Results show that children are more likely to accept advantageous allocations when their peer partner is unaware of their advantage. In Study 2 (N = 134 pairs; Ages 8 and 9), we show that this effect is driven specifically by whether the affected peer partners can see the allocation and not by whether third-party peer observers witness the decision. Together, these results shed light on the factors influencing fairness development in childhood and, more specifically, suggest that advantageous inequity aversion is influenced by a desire to appear fair to those getting the short end of the stick.
