4‑ to 8‑year‑old child research participants needed

Posted by Early Social Development Lab on October 24, 2016 in General Announcements

Dr. Chris Moore’s Early Social Development Lab at Dalhousie University is looking for 4- to 8-year-old participants to take part in a research study on how relative wealth impacts sharing behaviour in children. Children are invited to spin a ‘wheel of fortune’ and they either receive less, more, or the same amount of stickers as a fictitious child. They are then asked how they would share with this fictitious child and how other children should share in similar situations. The study involves a single visit to Dalhousie and takes about 15 minutes to complete. Children receive stickers, a small toy, and a certificate for taking part. If you have a child in this age range and are interested in receiving more information about this study, please contact Sarah by phone at (902) 494-6106 or by email at esdl@dal.ca. We sincerely appreciate your support!
