The current study examined relations between preschool children's attachment pattern and their sharing behavior. To this end, 26 German children aged five years (15 girls) were first administered an Attachment Story Completion Task to assess their attachment pattern and the degree of their attachment security. Immediately thereafter, they participated in an established paradigm, a mini-dictator game, that assessed their inclination to share costly as well as noncostly with a friend, a disliked other, and a stranger. Analyses showed that degree of attachment security was positively correlated with children's generosity towards a disliked other and their inclination to engage in costly sharing. Moreover, the absence of an organized attachment pattern was related to a general decrease in generosity towards all recipients. The results point to the functional role of children's attachment for the early development of sharing behavior.
当前的研究考察了学龄前儿童的依恋模式与其分享行为之间的关系。为此，26名五岁的德国儿童（15名女孩）首先接受了一项依恋故事完成任务，以评估他们的依恋模式及其依恋安全感程度。此后，他们立即参与了一个既定的范式，即一个迷你独裁者游戏，该游戏评估了他们与朋友、不喜欢的人以及陌生人分享昂贵物品和非昂贵物品的倾向。分析表明，依恋安全感程度与儿童对不喜欢的人的慷慨程度及其进行昂贵物品分享的倾向呈正相关。此外，缺乏有组织的依恋模式与对所有接受者的慷慨程度普遍下降有关。研究结果表明了儿童依恋在分享行为早期发展中的功能作用。
