Gender Study

The aim of this study is to investigate the attitudes of children in regards to monetary compensation for a task. Two goals are to understand if children will pay others differently based on their ingroup or outgroup status, specifically, gender, and whether children will pay others differently depending on the tasks completed.

Missing Puzzle Piece

The MPUZ Experiment, otherwise known as the Missing Puzzle Piece Experiment, investigates how children perceive the concept of “property” and when these perceptions develop. It addresses the question of when a child can distinguish their own belongings from someone else’s through exploration of its development.
