Population vulnerability of residents, employees, and cruise-ship passengers to tsunami hazards of islands in complex seismic regions
Reducing the potential for loss of life from tsunamis is challenging on islands located in complex seismic regions given the multiple sources that surround islands, differences among islands in the amount of time needed to evacuate before wave arrival, and the high number of residents, employees, and tourists in tsunami-hazard zones. We examine variations in population vulnerability in island communities to multiple tsunami threats and use the Un…
The role of affiliation in the development of collaborative partner choice
Collaboration is an early emerging component of successful cooperative relations that produces a cascade of positive social preferences between collaborators. Concurrently, robust preferences for affiliated others may restrict these benefits to in-group peers. We investigated how in-group affiliation (based on minimal group markers) and interpersonal affiliation (based on shared preferences) influence children's collaborative partner choice. We a…
Group over need
Children are remarkably concerned with fairness, yet social evaluations often lead to partiality in fairness behavior. For instance, children share more generously with in‐group peers and allocate resources based on the material need of recipients. The goal of the present study was to examine how children developing in Canada and Iran privilege group status and recipient need when allocating resources. We assigned children (5–6 years of age) from…
To be fair, generous, or selfish
Previous research has found that children’s sharing with others relies on fairness norms, but also varies according to their social relationships. The current study focuses on the conflict between fairness and relationship, exploring their impacts across two resource allocation contexts. We used a parallel work task to explore the effect of relationship with different recipients (friend, stranger, or disliked peer) on three allocation patterns (g…
Toddlers Involve Their Caregiver to Help Another Person in Need
Three experiments with 18‐ to 35‐month‐old children ( n = 169) studied toddler–caregiver interactions when being confronted with another person in need. In particular, we explored whether toddlers would request their caregiver to help a needy other when they are not able to help themselves. Children observed another person who needed help to accomplish a task, but were either not able to provide help as the object was out of reach (Experiment 1) …
Valuing Ecological Improvements in the Chesapeake Bay and the Importance of Ancillary Benefits
Reducing the excess nutrient and sediment pollution that is damaging habitat and diminishing recreational experiences in coastal estuaries requires actions by people and communities that are within the boundaries of the watershed but may be far from the resource itself, thus complicating efforts to understand tradeoffs associated with pollution control measures. Such is the case with the Chesapeake Bay, one of the most iconic water resources in t…

The Influence of Competition on Resource Allocation in Preschool Children
To examine how competition influences resource allocation in 4‐ to 6‐year‐olds, children were assigned to one of two conditions. In the experimental condition children colored a picture for a coloring contest whereas in the control condition they colored a picture to decorate a wall. Subsequently, all children participated in a resource allocation task with another child who was introduced as another participant in the coloring contest or who wou…
Peer social skills and theory of mind in children with autism, deafness, or typical development
Consequences of theory of mind (ToM) development for daily social lives of children are uncertain. Five to 13-year-olds (N = 195) with typical development, autism, or deafness (both native and late signers) took ToM tests and their teachers reported on their social skills for peer interaction (e.g., leadership, group entry). Groups differed in both ToM understanding (with late-signing deaf children especially delayed even relative to autistic chi…
Preschool Children's Anticipation of Recipients' Emotions Affects Their Resource Allocation
The present study investigated the impact of preschoolers' anticipation of recipients' emotions on their resource allocation decisions. Three‐ to six‐year‐old children participated in one of three different scenarios before performing a resource allocation task. In the Other condition, children were led to think about another person's emotions when being shared with or not being shared with. In the Self condition, children were led to think about…
The development of recipient-dependent sharing behavior and sharing expectations in preschool children
This study investigated the development of sharing expectations and sharing behavior in 3 groups of 3-, 4-, and 5-year-old children. We examined (a) whether preschool children expect a person to share more with a friend than with a disliked peer and (b) whether their expectation about others' sharing behavior depends on whether there is a cost or not. Additionally, (c) we assessed children's own sharing behavior toward the different recipients in…
I can talk you into it
We investigated links between persuasive behavior and theory of mind (ToM) understanding using a novel naturalistic peer persuasion task in which children were invited to convince an interactive puppet to eat raw broccoli or brush his teeth. Sixty-three 3- to 8-year-olds (M age = 6 years, 6 months) took part in the persuasion task and were also given a battery of first-order and advanced false belief tests. As predicted, the number of independent…
Marking machinima
The model of learning best suited to the future may be one which sees learning as the process of managing the different kinds of participation an individual might have in complex social systems. Learning capability and engagement is thus dependent on the relationship between an individual identity and social systems. We report on the incorporation of machinima , a Web 2.0 technology, as part of an interdisciplinary and collaborative project where…
Introduction to the special issue
Understanding Interest in the Second Year of Life
Infants ( n = 24, mean age 13 months and n = 24, mean age 19 months) were tested on an extension of the method introduced by Tomasello and Haberl (2003) to examine the understanding of another person’s interest in a novel object. Four objects were presented serially. For two objects, infants played with an experimenter. The infant played with one object alone, and the experimenter played with one object alone. Finally, all four objects were prese…
Sharing music files
The sharing of music files has been the focus of a massive struggle between representatives of major record companies and artists in the music industry, on one side, and peer-to-peer (p2p) file-sharing services and their users, on the other. This struggle can be analysed in terms of tactics used by the two sides, which can be classified into five categories: cover-up versus exposure, devaluation versus validation, interpretation versus alternativ…
P69 How to stop drug users dying from an overdose
Objective To describe interventions to prevent and treat overdoses in the pre-hospital setting and review their effectiveness. Design This review was undertaken in three stages: 1: systematic overview—systematic literature search for all reports of interventions to treat and prevent overdose in the pre-hospital setting; 2: systematic review—we selected comparative studies from the overview results and undertook qualitative synthesis; 3: we identi…
The Development of Gaze Following in a Third‐Party Context
Infants follow the gaze of an individual with whom they are directly interacting by the end of the first year. By 18 months infants are capable of learning novel words in observational (or third‐party) contexts (Floor & Akhtar, 2006). To examine third‐party gaze following in 12‐ and 18‐month‐olds, the parent and experimenter engaged in a conversation while the infant was present. For 8 trials approximately every 30 sec the experimenter would turn…
Differences in How 12‐ and 24‐Month‐Olds Interpret the Gaze of Adults
This study examined the hypothesis that toddlers interpret an adult's head turn as evidence that the adult was looking at something, whereas younger infants interpret gaze based on an expectancy that an interesting object will be present on the side to which the adult has turned. Infants of 12 months and toddlers of 24 months were first shown that an adult head turn to the side predicted the activation of a remote‐controlled toy on that side of t…
The Development of Body Self‐Awareness
Two experiments examined toddlers' performance on a new task designed to examine the development of body self‐awareness. The new task was conceived from observations by Piaget (1953/1977) and theoretical work from Povinelli and Cant (1995) and involved a toy shopping cart to the back of which a small mat had been attached. Children were asked to push the cart to their mothers but in attempting to do so they had to step on the mat and in consequen…
Preschoolers' Understanding of Simple and Complex Emotions
This study examined preschoolers' understanding of simple (happy, sad, angry, scared) and complex (proud, jealous, guilty) emotions. Participants (N = 100) were 3- and 4-year-olds. Children were told stories about emotion-eliciting situations and were asked about the story character's emotion, the cause of the emotion, and behavioral and physiological manifestations of the emotion. Results indicated that children understood simple emotions better…

Attention and joint attention in preschool children with autism
Three experiments examined the role of attention in explaining dyadic (child-adult) and triadic (child-adult-object) joint attention difficulties in autism. Experiments 1 and 2 investigated children's ability to orient to an adult's attention bid and to follow the direction of a human or nonhuman cue. Experiment 3 tested ability to disengage and shift attention to objects. Results showed autism-specific difficulties at both dyadic and triadic lev…

Partnership or Privatisation? The political economy of local economic restructuring
The restructuring of local economies in the face of declining traditional industries is a major problem confronting all advanced western societies. This article contrasts the experience of two countries with very different traditions of political management of their national economies, namely the UK and Sweden. The authors argue that whilst there are important divergencies in macro political and economic objectives, there is an interesting conver…
The origins of joint visual attention in infants
Two experiments examined the origins of joint visual attention with a training procedure. In Experiment 1, infants aged 6-11 months were tested for a gaze-following (joint visual attention) response under feedback and no feedback conditions. In Experiment 2, infants 8-9 months received feedback for either following the experimenter's gaze (natural group) or looking to the opposite side (unnatural group). Results of the 2 experiments indicate that…

Urban Policy Contradictions
British urban policy emphasises the concept of partnership between different levels of government and the importance of institutional co-ordination for effective problem solving. This ignores underlying political and ideological conflicts between the objectives of central government and local authorities in the major conurbations. Examining the evolution of urban policy in Clydeside reveals two competing models of urban regeneration articulated b…

The Cognitive Basis of Future‐oriented Prosocial Behavior
Two experiments examined the development of future‐oriented prosocial behavior in relation to developing theory of mind and executive functioning. Children from 3;0 to 4;6 were given a series of trials in which they had to make a choice between immediate and delayed sticker rewards, where these rewards accrued either to self, to a play partner, or were shared. They also were presented with standard theory of mind tasks (in Experiment 1) assessing…

The development of mental terms
The distinctions between the mental terms, know, think and sure was examined in an experiment with 60 children between three and six years of age. The children were required to find an object hidden in one of two places. Their only clues were two statements involving contrasting mental terms, with each statement referring to one of the possible hiding places. Results showed a significant improvement with age for the know-think and sure-think cont…
The acoustical analysis of children's use of prosody in assertive and directive contexts
Prosodic features of children's utterances were compared across asser tive directive tasks, in order to determine how these acoustical proper ties of speech are used for communication. Methodological difficulties inherent in many previous investigations were averted by using a procedure that ensured that prosody was judged independently of communicative purpose. Four children aged 1;11 were audiotaped while in contexts designed to elicit assertiv…

Mental terms in mothers' and children's speech
In this study, mental terms in mothers' and their children's speech at two and three years of age were studied in order to examine the relationships between maternal and child use. Nineteen mother and child dyads were videotaped for one hour on each of two days when the children were 2;0 and again for two one-hour sessions on separate days when they were 3;0, and mental terms were noted. The utterances in which mental terms were used were coded f…

Lexical and prosodic eues in the comprehension of relative certainty
This study examined the development of children's comprehension of the use of intonation and belief verbs to mark the relative certainty with which a speaker makes a statement. Subjects were presented with a task in which they had to guess the location of an object hidden in one of two boxes over a series of trials. As clues to location, the children were presented with contrasting pairs of statements by two puppets. In the first experiment with …
Differential responding to two- and three-year-olds' utterances
Mothers have been found to respond differently to grammatical and ungrammatical utterances in young children's language. However, parents indicate that they are conscious only of responding to communicative aspects of their children's speech, not grammar. Further, researchers have looked to the understandability of utterances to explain the effects of grammaticality on maternal responses. The present study addressed the question of whether it is …
Developmental relationships between production and comprehension of mental terms
Mental terms, including belief and desire terms, were studied in a sample of 14 mother-child pairs longitudinally when the children were 2;0, 3;0, and 4;0 in order to examine the acquisition of these terms. Percentage use of utterances involving belief and desire terms in naturalistic interactions were calculated for each subject. In addition, children at 4;0 were tested for comprehension of the distinctions between the belief terms know, think a…

Children's comprehension of the distinction between want and need
Two experiments examined the development of children's understanding of the difference between want and need . In experiment 1, children were tested on their knowledge that want represents an intrinsic desire whereas need represents an instrumental desire. Forty-five children between three and five years of age heard four stories in which one character encountered a problem, while another did not. A desirable object which could alleviate the prob…
Social Cognition, Joint Attention, and Communicative Competence from 9 to 15 Months of Age
At around 1 year of age, human infants display a number of new behaviors that seem to indicate a newly emerging understanding of other persons as intentional beings whose attention to outside objects may be shared, followed into, and directed in various ways. These behaviors have mostly been studied separately. In the current study, we investigated the most important of these behaviors together as they emerged in a single group of 24 infants betw…
