Sehl, Claudia G.; Denison, Stephanie; Friedman, Ori – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Children have a robust social preference for people similar to them, like those who share their language, accent, and race. In the present research, we show that this preference can diminish when children consider who they want to learn about. Across three experiments, 4- to 6-year-olds (total N = 160; 74 female, 86 male, from the Waterloo region…

Children's ability to save emerges during the preschool years, but little is known about the different forms saving takes (and whether these relate) and the mechanisms driving its development.

Autonomy -- acting volitionally with a sense of choice -- is a crucial right for children.
