Set-up and apparatuses for Experiments 1 and 2. (a) Dictator Game. The experimenter was seated on one side of the table and arranged one row of 6 candies in front of the participant. The participant had a red box in front of him/her where s/he put the candies to bring home, and a blue box where s/he put the candies to donate to the recipient. The adult model sat next to the participant so that the participant saw the allocations made by the model from the same perspective. (b) Inequity Game set up. The participant sat on the side with the handles and the recipient was across from them; the experimenter was at the side, placing treats on the trays. The participant could pull the red handle (c) to reject an allocation so that all treats went into the middle bowl and no one received anything, or they could pull the green handle (d) to accept the allocation so that the treats went into the outer bowls for the participant and the recipient
