Conditional prosociality in development: deconstructing social and materialistic factors that modulate early prosocial behavior by Lee, Kristy Jia Jin

“…Children witnessed the transgressor destroy the victim's tower of blocks, responded to the victim's pleas for help in rebuilding her tower, and shared resources with both actresses. Helping rate was found to exceed chance only under the least prohibitive condition (Low-Cost, Familiar Victim), stemming from a combination of not having a productive task to occupy one's time and energy, and simultaneously a familiar target which increases one's intrinsic motivation to help. …”
