Children's developing understanding of legitimate reasons for allocating resources unequally (2016, background): “…so that young children have a harder time learning them than, for instance, simple game rules or behavioral rules that are explicitly introduced by adults or well-known moral norms against harming others (Killen & Smetana, 2006; Rakoczy & Schmidt, 2013; Schmidt & Tomasello, 2012; Turiel, 1998).”
Young children's creation and transmission of social norms (2014, background): “When children enforce conventional norms on others from a third party stance, it suggests that their protest is not out of a concern for themselves; rather they view the norm as something to be obeyed by all (Rakoczy & Schmidt, 2013; Schmidt & Tomasello, 2012).”
Fair Resource Allocation Among Children and Adolescents: The Role of Group and Developmental Processes (2017, background): “For example, young children readily apply conventional norms to peers from their own group but often refrain from doing so when peers are identified as an outgroup (22).”
