Abstract

A total of 72 children between 6 and 13 years of age were instructed that they were going to either compete, cooperate, or play alone on an electronic "pong" game. Each child was given 30 prize chips and the opportunity to donate to a charity following the instructional set manipulation but prior to playing the game. Children anticipating a competitive encounter responded less charitably than children in the other conditions. No significant sex or age differences in donation behavior were found.
