Fair transition in the mind of child


Perhaps the children are all at first " Karl and Marx " ,But they will probably turn into finally " The members of IOC " . This is a conclusion that can worked out newly, discover, children will be changed towards the direction based on achievement from the equal doctrine the fair view with their growing up. This discovery will contribute to explaining why the successful personage will get higher social remuneration, and will help the educationist to stimulate the children's enthusiasm better.

Express gratitude to a economics which will be called autocrat's game for testing in the obtaining of this discovery. Studied the group by low Norwegian economy of root city and one which the experiment economist AlexanderCappelen of the School of Business led, recruit 10 for one from the school near the low root to 18 -year-old teenagers. Each experimenter makes up one group with another student who he does not know, researchers let every groups of members carry on a operation game about three -figure number subsequently, and earn money according to the result of operation. Some students have earned more money because of doing well in game China. At the end of the game, every group of money which members has earned is concentrated together, and a member among them is demanded to divide and lose the cash with his companion as the autocrat, fair way that provided that to need to think according to him.

And age has determined finally how experimenters cut apart this sum of incomes balancedly. Researchers find, in the youngest experimenter - -Age is 10 to 11 years old, probably 2/3 of the people will not consider oneself and companion's behavior in fen in the game. But old experimenters will share money according to member behaving in the game. For example, in 18 -year-old experimenters, only 23% of the people will divide this sum of cash equally with one's own companion, 43% people will divide into more for oneself on the contrary, this is because they may think this is earned by oneself. Researchers have reported this research results on the latest American Science.

Cappelen thinks, this discovery shows, as children grow to manhood, and they participate in sports and school, these activities with reward mechanism, the fair concept is based on achievement more and more in their brain. He says: "It is a very important stage to the fair idea which moulds children in adolescence. " Cappelen emphasizes, the fair system of rewards and punishments that students think that the educationist will set up letting that this research results will help, this will offer more harmonious class environment to children, and bring better study and behave.

The behavioral economist JamesKonow of U.S.A. California Los Angeles says: "I think this is an interesting and important research. " But he is doubted to the fair idea that the author puts forward by the theory that the test moulds.
