How do fair people act? (Ages 4 to 7)

University of Toronto , Department of Psychology

We’re interested in how kids understand fair and unfair scenarios, helping and hindering situations, and how this influences their social behavior. We also look at moral intentions, and children's expectations of them. In our 20 to 30-minute study over zoom, your child will watch videos of an actor acting fairly, or unfairly. Next, they will observe that same actor either helping or hindering someone. What will their reaction be from watching these difference scenes?

Your Impact

By participating in our study, you will be contributing to the latest research in developmental psychology. As a community, we want to to better understand how children learn from the social world around them so we can ultimately build stronger relationships and resources for our kids!
