Reviewed in Meta-study (COTTON)*
Compares the altruistic behavior of children in preschool through second grade in two experimental groups--those who were encouraged to think about the feelings of other, needy children and those to whom the other children's feelings were not mentioned. Children who were encouraged to think about feelings were significantly more generous. (COTTON)*
