Children seek out observations that can reveal a partner’s generosity
Humans face the adaptive challenge of assessing how much other people value them. Evidence suggests that the human mind is well-equipped for this task: people can rationally estimate, and collect information about, the weight that an interaction partner assigns to their welfare (the partner’s welfare-tradeoff ratio). Here we probe the developmental origins of this ability using an information-search task with 6- to 12-year-old children ( n = 97 )…
Young Children’s Understanding of Helping as Increasing Another Agent’s Utility
Instrumental helping is one of the paradigmatic “prosocial” behaviors featured in developmental research on sociomoral reasoning, but not much is known about how children recognize instances of helping behaviors or understand the term ‘help’. Here, we examined whether young children represent helping as a second-order goal and take it to mean increasing the utility of another agent. In Study 1, we tested whether 12-month-old infants would expect …
Children's Trait Inference and Partner Choice in a Cooperative Game
A series of experiments conducted in Central Europe (Hungary, Austria) and East Asia (Japan) probed whether 5- to 10-year-old children (n = 436, 213 female) and adults (n = 71, 43 female; all data collected between July 2020 and May 2023) would infer traits and choose partners accordingly, in a novel touchscreen game. The participants observed third-party actions and interactions of animated agents whose behavior varied in prosociality and skill,…
