United KingdomA study conducted by researchers from the London School of Economics, University of Stavanger, and University of Milan-Bicocca explored how social behaviors such as kindness and cooperation develop in children aged 3 to 10. The study, published in Nature Human Behavior, found that these behaviors are initially intuitive but become more deliberate as children grow older. Researchers compared intuitive decisions made quickly with more reflective choices by asking children to participate in social games involving sharing candies and evaluating fairness. The results indicate that young children act kindly and cooperatively instinctively, while these traits later become part of their personal dispositions through reflection.
