Social Modelling
This study is for children aged 4-6 years old, as well as parent-child pairs with a child between the ages of 4-5 years old. This project looks at children’s attitudes towards lie-telling and their own subsequent lie-telling behaviours. Child participants will observe a model (either a research team member or a parent) play a guessing game, then participate in their own guessing game as well as answer questions about the model’s behaviour. This study involves one in-person session at the Talwar Child Development Lab, which will take approximately 20-30 minutes to complete. Compensation for the study is a 20$ e-gift card if a child participates alone, or a 30$ e-gift card if a parent and child participate together!
