Description
This study assessed the perceived fairness of vignette characters who
had contributed either more or less than a coworker in a task and had
subsequently divided the rewards either equitably or equally. The
objective was to explore the development of sex differences in
distributive justice between preadolescence and adulthood in light of
two competing explanations of those differences. The "normative"
explanation states that males and females vary in their respective
preferences for the norms of equity and equality. The "motivational"
explanation states that the sexes vary their norm preference according
to self-favoring (males) or generous (females) motives . Results
provided no support for the former explanation, but support in the
fifth grade and college groups for the latter explanation. The eighth
grade group was unique in that those males rated generous allocations
more fair than the females did. A developmental pattern of cognitive
changes in sex-role concepts was suggested.
