34while you wait for your number to be called we ask you to think carefully about what you
want to do in the situation described, in order to be fast in the decision.
[Repeat to each child what to do and to hide the bracelets that they want to keep outside
the envelope. When the children come back in to the class afer the decision is take, they
leave the envelope to the assistant. The envelopes will then be distributed to the children
of a following experimental session (at the end of the planned activity)].
TREATMENT: Public vs. Private
[Public: say the following sentence:] After you have made your choice, we will open the
envelopes in front of everyone and write on the board what has chosen each one of you
so that everyone can see what you have decided.
[Private: say the following sentence:] Your choice will remain anonymous.
b. Seating Map: Eliciting the network of friends and their popularity
After the dictator game, we ask children to fill a sheet of paper (see Figure A1.1) where a
table and 5 chairs are depicted. Each child has to write his/her name on the chair on the
head of the table and (up to) five other names of other children in the class that s/he
would like to have seated close to him/her (from the closer to the farther). We inform
children that the names they report will be kept confidential and neither the parents nor
the teachers or other friends will know what they write. Children receive a rubber band
for their collaboration. We can use the names reported to map child’s network of friends
and create an index of popularity that we will use in our analysis.

name and surname of your friends.
