Abstract

Combining the dictator game (DG) and the ultimatum game (UG), this study recruited 546 Chinese children (321 boys, aged 9-12 years) as distributors, and found that both peer comparison and social value orientation (SVO) significantly influenced children's distributive fairness from late childhood to early adolescence. Results showed that as the unfairness of peer proposals increased, participants decreased the amount of gold coins distributed to the receiver in both tasks, revealing a peer comparison effect. This effect was more pronounced for adolescents than for children in both tasks. In addition, participants' fair distribution behaviors in the DG showed a three-way interaction effect of SVO, grade, and peer comparison. Specifically, for proselfs, children were not influenced by peers and consistently proposed self-interested distributions, whereas adolescents exhibited a peer comparison effect; for prosocials, both children and adolescents were influenced by peers, but children decreased the amount of their distributions only when they saw peers make extremely unfair distributions, whereas adolescents decreased the amount of their distributions when they saw peers make both mildly and extremely unfair distributions. This study highlights the importance of social environment and personal trait in shaping children's fair distribution behavior during the transition from late childhood to early adolescence.

向青春期过渡期间的分配公平:同伴比较和社会价值取向的作用。
本研究结合独裁者游戏(DG)和最后通牒游戏(UG),招募了546名中国儿童(321名男孩,9-12岁)作为分配者,发现同伴比较和社会价值取向(SVO)对儿童从童年晚期到青春期早期的分配公平性有显著影响。结果显示,随着同伴提议的不公平程度增加,参与者在两个任务中分配给接受者的金币数量都会减少,这揭示了同伴比较效应。在这两个任务中,青少年比儿童的这种效应更为明显。此外,参与者在 DG 中的公平分配行为显示出 SVO、年级和同伴比较的三方交互效应。具体来说,在亲己行为中,儿童不受同伴影响,总是提出利己的分配方案,而青少年则表现出同伴比较效应;在亲社会行为中,儿童和青少年都受同伴影响,但儿童只有在看到同伴做出极端不公平的分配方案时才会减少分配方案的数量,而青少年则在看到同伴做出轻度和极端不公平的分配方案时才会减少分配方案的数量。这项研究强调了社会环境和个人特质对儿童从童年晚期向青少年早期过渡期间公平分配行为的重要影响。
