O comportamento pro social tem sido alvo de diversos estudos pela sua importância na
psicologia do desenvolvimento (Carlo & Koller, 1998; Hastings, Utendale & Sullivan, 2007).
Na literatura parecem surgir algumas inconsistências. O objetivo deste estudo é investigar se o
comportamento de partilha varia com a idade da criança, se as crianças variam na forma como
partilham recursos, em função de diferentes características do destinatário e se o florescimento
relacional dos pais está associado ao comportamento de partilha nas crianças. Neste estudo,
participaram 30 crianças com 6 e 7 anos (M=6,47; DP= 0,51) e seus respetivos pais. O
comportamento de partilha foi avaliado através do Jogo do Ditador, uma versão desenvolvida
por Malti e colaboradores (2016) e o florescimento relacional foi avaliado através da Relational
Flourshing Scale (RFS), traduzida e adaptada para a população portuguesa (Alves, Alves, Jesus
& Gouveia, 2018). Os resultados revelam que as crianças favorecem mais os destinatários “em
necessidade” e penalizam mais os destinatários “moralmente não merecedores”. Quanto ao
florescimento relacional, parece não haver relação direta com o comportamento de partilha.
Pro social behavior has been the subject of several studies for its importance in development psychology (Carlo & Koller, 1998; Hastings, Utendale & Sullivan, 2007). In the literature some inconsistencies seem to emerge. The goal of this study is to investigate whether the sharing behavior varies with the child´s age, whether children vary inthe way the share resources, according to different characteristics of the recipiente and whether Relationship Flourishing, is associated with sharing behavior in children. 30 children age 6 and 7 years (M= 6,47, SD= 0,51) and their respective parents participated in this study. Sharing behavior was assessed using the Dictator´s Game, a version developed by Malti and co-workers (2016) and relationship flourishing was assessed using the Relationship Flourishing Scale (RFS) translated and adapted for the Portuguese population (Alves, Alves, Jesus & Gouveia, 2018). The results show that children favor recipientes “in need” and penalize recipientes “morally unworthy”. As for relationship flourisng, there seems to be no direct relationship to sharing behavior.
