Seventy - two 4 - year - old chinese and indian children were paired with a friend and with an acquintance in their class. One child (share) was given 10 pieces each of his or her preferred and non preferred foods, whereas the partner (recipient) was given one piece of each of the same foods. Sharing incidents were classified to identicate whether they were initiated by the sharer (spontaneous sharing) or due to the recipients' behaviour (elicited and passive sharing). Friendship did not influence were more likely to share spontaneously and less likely to elicit sharing. Chinese children showed more spontaneous sharing than did indian children, the majority of sharing incidents in the indian sample were classified as passive sharing. Findings highlight the importance of cultural beliefs on young children's behaviours and of considering the interactive effects of the sharers' and recipients' behaviours on each other.
