abstract = {{Adults under time pressure share with others generously, but with more time they act more{\textless}br{\textgreater}selfishly. In the current study, we investigated whether young children already operate in{\textless}br{\textgreater}this same way, and, if so, whether this changes over the preschool and early school age{\textless}br{\textgreater}years. We tested 144 children in three age groups (3-, 5-, and 7-year olds) in a one-shot dictator game: Children were given nine stickers and had the possibility to share stickers with{\textless}br{\textgreater}another child who was absent. Children in the Time Pressure condition were instructed to{\textless}br{\textgreater}share quickly, whereas children in the Delay condition were instructed to take time and consider their decision carefully. Across ages, children in the Time Pressure condition shared{\textless}br{\textgreater}significantly more stickers than children in the Delay condition. Moreover, the longer children{\textless}br{\textgreater}waited, the less they shared. Thus, children, like adults, are more prosocial when acting{\textless}br{\textgreater}spontaneously than after considering their decision more carefully.}},
