Age Effect On Sharing
Public
Private
Figure 4. Average Sharing: Old vs. Young Children
* indicates p<0.05, one-tailed tests.!
Figure 4 above lends support to our second hypothesis: older children in Public display
greater generosity than: (i) older children in Private; or (ii) younger children in either
Public or Private.
To see (i), note that mean sharing in Public is significantly greater for older Children than
in Private (p = .03). To see (ii), note that older children in Public share on average 1.88
silly bands. This is significantly more than young children in both Public and Private (p <
.01 and p < .01, respectively).!!
!
Figure 5 and Table 4 below lend support for our third hypothesis: 1) In Public: older and
more popular children share more than: (i) less popular older children; and (ii) younger
children regardless of popularity; 2) In Private: there is no effect of popularity for
children of any age. To see 1i), note from Figure 6 that older and more popular children
share more than half of their endowment in Public, while their less popular but same-
aged counterparts share (an insignificantly different) 1.82 silly bands.
