Although the development of fairness has become a topic of wide interest, little is known about the correlates and factors that relate to the early ontogeny of fairness-related decision making in preschoolers. The current study assessed 5-year-old children's consideration of existing inequalities in their resource allocation decisions, that is, their tendency to allocate more resources to poor others than to rich others. In addition, children's prosocial responding toward others in pain, the amount of their social interaction experiences, and their social-cognitive abilities were assessed. The results provide evidence that children's early social interaction experiences and empathy-based prosocial responding relate to their fairness-related decision making, supporting a relational systems approach to early prosocial and moral development.
尽管公平性的发展已成为一个广受关注的话题，但对于与学龄前儿童公平相关决策的早期个体发生相关的关联因素和因素却知之甚少。当前的研究评估了5岁儿童在资源分配决策中对现有不平等的考虑，即他们将更多资源分配给贫困他人而非富裕他人的倾向。此外，还评估了儿童对处于痛苦中的他人的亲社会反应、他们的社会互动经历数量以及他们的社会认知能力。结果提供了证据，表明儿童早期的社会互动经历和基于同理心的亲社会反应与他们的公平相关决策有关，支持了一种关于早期亲社会和道德发展的关系系统方法。
