研究人员记录了52名18至36个月大的幼儿（主人）对同伴苦恼的反应，观察他们在自己家中与熟悉的同伴玩耍，两次时间间隔为6个月。四个背景因素进行了探讨：主机的责任，客人的困扰，幼儿和苦恼的同行之间的相似性，相对熟悉的同行，和幼儿的经验与同行和兄弟姐妹。他们对自己造成的痛苦的反应比对自己目睹的痛苦的反应更积极。当主人自己给同性客人造成困扰时，最有可能表现出负面反应。如果他们认识客人一辈子，他们就不太可能做出积极或消极的反应。有哥哥姐姐的幼儿比其他主人更有可能对客人的痛苦做出负面反应。
Reactions to peers' distress were recorded for 52 toddlers (hosts), 18 to 36 months old, who were observed playing with familiar peers in their own homes during 2 sessions, 6 months apart. Four contextual factors were explored: the host's responsibility for the guest's distress, similarity between the toddler and the distressed peer, relative familiarity of the peer, and the toddler's experience with peers and siblings. Hosts responded more positively to distress they had caused than to distress they witnessed. Negative reactions were most likely to be shown when hosts themselves had caused the distress of a guest of the same sex. Hosts were less likely to respond either positively or negatively if they had known their guests all their lives. Toddlers who had older siblings were more likely than other hosts to respond negatively to guests' distress.
