Procedure
Introduction. Participants were told that they were
going to color a picture. In the alone condition, participants
were led to the testing room, where they were
asked to choose a picture to color. In the bystander and
bystander-unavailable conditions, participants met the
two confederates in front of the testing room. They were
introduced by name and said to be participating as well.
All children and the experimenter then entered the testing
room and chose a picture. Participants always were
asked (seemingly randomly) to choose first, and then the
confederates each chose different pictures.
