如何在群体成员之间分配可用资源的问题是社会生活的一个核心问题。成年人对不公平的分配产生负面反应，一些研究报告称，非人类灵长类动物和狗也对不平等产生负面反应。我们报告了两项关于婴儿对均等和不均等分配的反应的实验。在两项实验中，婴儿的观看时间和手动选择首次提供了一致的证据，表明 12 至 18 个月（平均年龄 16 个月）的婴儿会关注分配行为的结果，以评估主体的行为并推理主体的倾向。研究结果为最近关于社会评价技能和公平感的发展根源的理论建议提供了支持。
The problem of how to distribute available resources among members of a group is a central aspect of social life. Adults react negatively to inequitable distributions and several studies have reported negative reactions to inequity also in non-human primates and dogs. We report two experiments on infants' reactions to equal and unequal distributions. In two experiments, infants' looking times and manual choices provide, for the first time, converging evidence suggesting that infants aged 12 to 18 months (mean age 16 months) attend to the outcomes of distributive actions to evaluate agents' actions and to reason about agents' dispositions. The results provide support for recent theoretical proposals on the developmental roots of social evaluation skills and a sense of fairness.
