Children also recognised that their generosity improved the recipient’s mood, but their own mood wasn’t consistently linked to how much they shared.

Children considered both need and reputation, but shared equally with recipients who were either needy with a negative reputation or not needy with a positive reputation, suggesting they did not have a preference for either factor.

Children (3–9 years) shared stickers with recipients who varied in need (needy vs. not needy) and reputation (sharing vs. not sharing).
As expected, they shared more with needy recipients. But they shared more generously when the recipient also had a positive reputation for sharing.
