随着儿童的成长，他们会接触到帮助他们适应社会的社会规范。在这项研究中，本研究使用了一个改编的独裁者游戏，以调查暴露在慷慨规范(分享80元)或自私规范(分享20元)中是否会影响儿童的分享行为。研究对象是来自大陆五所小学的1983名三至五年级学生中国(北京两所，山东三所)。规范是以书面形式提出的，儿童被告知其父母/教师/同龄人大多数与接受者分享的个人资源的数量(描述性规范)或认为他们应该与接受者分享的个人资源(禁止性规范)。结果显示，孩子们更容易受到慷慨规范的影响，而不是自私规范。此外，当被提供慷慨的规范时，儿童对描述性规范比禁令规范更敏感，当他们接触到自私的描述性规范时，他们分享的东西比自私的禁令规范更多。此外，在慷慨的条件下，儿童分享更多，更有可能遵守老师和同龄人的规范，但在自私的条件下，他们不太可能遵守同龄人的规范，更多地偏离不受欢迎的规范。综上所述，我们的研究结果表明社会规范信息对于促进中国儿童分享行为的重要性。
As children develop, they are exposed to social norms that help them adapt to society. Here, the current study used an adapted dictator game to investigate whether exposure to a generous norm (sharing 80 yuan) or a selfish norm (sharing 20 yuan) would influence the sharing behavior of children. Participants were 1983 third‐ to fifth‐graders from five primary schools in mainland China (two in Beijing and three in Shandong). Norms were presented in the written format in which children were told the amount of personal resources that most of their parents/teachers/peers shared with a recipient (descriptive norms) or thought they should share with a recipient (injunctive norms). The results showed that children were more affected by generous norms than selfish norms. Moreover, when presented with generous norms, children were more sensitive to descriptive norms than to injunctive norms and they shared more when they were exposed to selfish descriptive norms than selfish injunctive norms. Additionally, children shared more and were more likely to comply with norms from teachers and peers in the generous condition, but they were less likely to comply with peers and deviated more from the undesirable norm from peers in the selfish condition. Together, our findings indicate the crucial importance of social norm information for the promotion of children's sharing behavior in China.
