“…The present study found that the relationship between parents' USC and tutoring anxiety was positive. This may be explained by the fact that more than 40 years of reform and opening up in China have not only brought rapid economic development, but have also led to increasingly serious social polarization (Samek et al, 2020). Moreover, during the COVID-19 period, the high potential of private tutoring may increase parents' anxiety by creating unequal access to online learning resources among families with different socioeconomic backgrounds (Lopez-Agudo et al, 2020).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused great disruption in education systems around the world. Schools have in some cases ended or limited on-site teaching, and have shifted toward home online teaching. This situation is likely to cause increased uncertainty and anxiety for parents who on one hand may question the quality of home online learning yet, on the other, may not feel sufficiently confident or competent to guide their children's home online learning. Resulting anxiety is expected to be most evident in competitive educational contexts, such as those found throughout much of East Asia. Therefore, using China as the setting, and social comparison theory as the framework, this study examined how variation in parent social comparison relates to parent tutoring anxiety and, in turn, to the types of guided strategies parents use to promote their children's home online learning. The results indicated a positive relationship between parental upward social comparison and parental tutoring anxiety, but a negative relationship between parent downward social comparison and parental anxiety. Parental tutoring anxiety is positively related to the confirmation and structure types, but negatively related to the discovery type of guided approaches. The implication of this study is that parents who resist tendencies of competitive upward social comparison are likely to adopt more effective approaches to guiding their children's home online learning.

“…Cabe apuntar, finalmente, la existencia de comparaciones interculturales que no reúnen los requisitos para postularse como estudios con población de pequeña escala, en la medida en que los grupos estudiados mantienen un contacto con la forma de vida occidental (Blake et al, 2015;Huppert et al, 2018;Paulus, 2015;Rao y Stewart, 1999y Samek et al, 2020. Lo que se expresa, por ejemplo, en los modelos educativos en los que se forman las personas y en las religiones que siguen, que corresponden a las creencias del mundo occidental.…”

“…La segunda parte relaciona protocolos que establecen comparaciones entre sociedades altamente contrastables en las que se incluyen, desde luego, las de pequeña escala (House et al, 2013ay Schäfer et al, 2015. La salvedad obedece a la posibilidad de encontrar estudios con poblaciones contrastables, pero que no trabajan con sociedades de pequeña escala (Blake et al, 2015;Huppert et al, 2018;Paulus, 2015;Rao y Stewart, 1999y Samek et al, 2020. Asimismo, se destaca la existencia de revisiones temáticas sobre comparaciones culturales amplias, es decir, que incorporan sociedades Weird, no Weird y de pequeña escala, pero centradas en el examen de puntos específicos de la distribución, como la prosocialidad temprana (Callaghan y Corbit, 2018).…”

Principios de justicia distributiva en trabajos experimentales con niños pertenecientes a sociedades de pequeña escala

Los trabajos experimentales que tienen por objeto examinar principios de justicia distributiva en niños, pueden ser leídos desde la procedencia de los participantes. En el desarrollo de esta idea, se han seleccionado aquellos estudios que incluyen niños de sociedades de pequeña escala. La lectura crítica propuesta a partir de esta revisión temática permite, en primer lugar, llevar a cabo la distinción entre sociedades de pequeña escala y sociedades no Weird (no occidentales, educadas, industrializadas, ricas y democráticas). Las sociedades de pequeña escala son no Weird, pero las no Weird pueden ser de gran escala. Se determinó, en segundo lugar, que los trabajos de distribución de recursos con sociedades de pequeña escala pueden distinguirse por sus resultados: unos tienden a establecer universales psicológicos; otros identifican diferencias culturales con respecto a sociedades Weird y no Weird.

“…They find that a concern for fairness develops strongly throughout early childhood; at 3-4 years of age, the overwhelming majority of children behave selfishly, whereas at 7-8 years of age most children prefer to eliminate an unfair inequality. In related studies using variations of the dictator game, in which children of different ages are asked to transfer some of their own endowment to another child or a charity, the general finding is that children transfer more and act less selfishly with age (Angerer et al 2015;Bauer et al 2014b;Ben-Ner et al 2017;Blake et al 2015;Maggian and Villeval 2016;Samek et al 2020). However, the negative correlation between age and selfishness appears primarily to apply for young children.…”

“…A possible explanation for the large variation in selfish behavior in society might be that people in different societies have had very different experiences with how distributional conflicts were handled during their childhood and that these experiences have shaped their level of selfishness (Blake et al 2015(Blake et al , 2016Cowell et al 2017;Fisman et al 2015;Henrich et al 2010;Hoffman 2000;House et al 2013House et al , 2020Huppert et al 2018;Rochat et al 2009;Samek et al 2020). As pointed out by Bowles and Gintis (2000), attitudes to inequality could be "transmitted culturally through learning from elders."…”

This chapter reviews the experimental research on fairness and income inequality. It first provides a brief overview of the normative literature that has inspired the growing experimental literature on fairness and distributive behavior, and then proceeds to outline a theoretical framework for interpreting the experimental evidence. The experimental literature has shown two important heterogeneities in people's fairness preferences; people differ in the weight they attach to fairness and in what they perceive as fair and unfair inequalities. In the study of the pluralism of fairness views, the experimental literature has largely focused on
