Peer reviewedTabor, Carole; Shaffer, David R. – Social Behavior and Personality, 1981
Children were given an opportunity to share a valuable commodity with an attractive or unattractive peer. Moments later, the peer appeared to fall from a chair. Results indicated older children shared more of their resources; sharing and responses to the emergency were positively correlated with empathic test scores. (Author/RC)
