Sammendrag
Fairness considerations fundamentally affect human behavior, but our

understanding of the nature and development of people’s fairness preferences

is limited. The dictator game has been the standard experimental design

for studying fairness preferences, but it only captures a situation where

there is broad agreement that fairness requires equal split. In real life, people

often disagree on what is fair, largely because they disagree on whether

individual achievements, luck, and efficiency considerations of what maximizes

total benefits, can justify inequalities. We modified the dictator game

to capture these elements, and studied how inequality acceptance develops

in adolescence. We found as children enter adolescence, they increasingly

viewed inequalities reflecting differences in individual achievements, but not

luck, fair, whereas efficiency considerations mainly played a role in late adolescence.
