Abstract

In this paper we study trust/reciprocity behavior in children ages eight to eighteen using an augmented version of Berg et al.รข s (1995) trust game. This study is intended to inspect and reveal when certain aspects of trust behavior are formed in individuals. In addition, we examine the affect of certain characteristics in subjects that lead to higher levels of trusting behavior.
