The Impact of Warmth and Instructions on Donation.

Weissbrod, Carol S.

Child Development, v51 n1 p279-81 Mar 1980

Results showed that short-term low-warmth inductions produced more charitability in second and fifth graders than short-term high-warmth inductions and that instructions encouraging charitability produced more generosity than selfish or permissive instructions. In addition, girls were found to be more generous overall than boys. (JMB)
