本研究考察了独裁者游戏(DG)中幼儿利他行为的发展和社会经济地位的差异。来自英国六所小学的4岁、6岁和9岁的儿童使用贴纸作为资源，与遗传无关的人玩DG。结果表明，年龄较大的儿童和来自较高SES环境的儿童表现出更多的利他行为，尽管大多数儿童即使在最小的年龄水平也表现出利他行为。结果支持了基于不同文化研究和脑成像研究的结论，为利他行为的基本性质以及当地社会化实践对发展的可能影响提供了额外的证据。(C)2007 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
This study examined developmental and socioeconomic status (SES) differences in young children's altruistic behavior in the dictator game (DG). Children aged 4, 6, and 9 years old from six British primary schools played the DG with genetically unrelated individuals using stickers as resource. Results demonstrated that older children and children from higher SES environments behaved more altruistically, although the majority of children displayed altruistic behavior even at the youngest age level. Results buttress conclusions based on studies from diverse cultures and from brain imaging research by providing additional evidence for the fundamental nature of altruistic behavior, as well as for the probable influence of local socialization practices on development.
