General information

Question text: We conducted a study on helping behavior with about 100 children aged 3-5 years old. Children participated in two sessions each week for three weeks. Children always participated in private with one of our study staff. Children were split into two groups: Group 1 was given opportunities to help as normal, while Group 2 was given incentives for helping more.

In the first session, each child was shown 10 pieces of paper trash on the floor and given the opportunity to help the study staff put it in the trash bin or watch a movie in the corner of the room. Children picked up about 3 pieces of trash on average, and this amount did not differ by group.

In the second session, each child was again shown 10 pieces of paper trash and asked how many he or she would like to help pick up. But this time,
  • Nothing changed for Group 1.
  • Group 2 children were told that they would get a candy if they helped pick up more than 5 pieces of trash (more than half).
Group 1 helped pick up 3.4 pieces of paper trash on average. We’d like you to guess how many Group 2 picked up on average. Remember, Group 2 was told they would get a candy if they helped pick up more than 5 pieces of trash. Please move the slider to how many pieces of trash you think Group 2 picked up. The starting point of the slider is the amount picked up by Group 1.
