Comments:

  • Reviewed in Meta-study (COTTON)*

  • Compares the sharing behavior of second and third graders after three different kinds of appeal:

    • a "power-assertive" appeal emphasizing punitive consequences,

    • an "inductive" appeal emphasizing the good feelings one gets from sharing,

    • and a neutral appeal to share with no further commentary.

    • The inductive appeal produced the greatest amount of sharing. (COTTON)*
