| Abstract: | This paper studies children's behavior in a prisoner's dilemma game. The author attempted to teach children cooperation by means of a short moral lecture. Over the period of 12 months, the author experimented with 196 children between the ages of six and eleven. The experimental findings are as follows. In support of the developmental psychology theories, the proportions of cooperation are indeed higher for older children. |
