Let's put the question back onto you. YOU tell me why kids share stickers. Tell us all how it is the absolute perfect indicator of character in children. Go on... tell us all the reasons kids share stickers, then I will share the ones you missed - which will be plenty.
Where did i say that it was the perfect indicator of character in children Maria? You really need to stop just making things up.
I would very much like you to explain how it is insignificant that one group of children shared their stickers and another group did not. The only reason to share stickers is to give something to somebody else that they don't have. Kindness.
And this is why I don't believe you have children - or you never see them. Children will give a minor thing like a sticker to another child because:
1) they want to
2) they don't particularly care
3) they know they are expected to
4) to annoy another child
5) to try and get someone to like them
The worthlessness of the experiment is because of the extreme low value of the item. Try it with something the kids value highly - like special food or tasty drink, or toys all the kids want.
As someone who has worked with hundreds of kids over the decades I can tell you what many child-care workers will: Some of the nicest kids turn out to be horrible adults and some of the bully kids turn out to be angels.
Of course, an
actual parent would already know that.
