Children, fairness and need: A research experiment

This is a special Saturday podcast only edition of Thinking Out Loud this week. Dalhousie research shows that children are concerned with fairness, but they may favour their in-group peers over others who may have more need when it comes to sharing. This was a research project that was conducted in Halifax, Nova Scotia and in Tehran, Iran. Dr. Chris Moore is a professor in Dalhousie's Department of Psychology and Neuroscience. He and I spoke about how they conducted the experiments using stickers, what they learn and what the implications are.
