2 Project Two Milestone Research Study: Anti-Equality: Social Comparison in Young Children 1. Select a peer-reviewed journal article and describe its relevance to you personally or professionally in about 50 to 75 words. This artile was very personal to me and brought up a lot of complex emotions for me. Growing up I was raised in a narsassitic abuse situation with both my parents exibiting narsassitic tendencies. I was the eldest then my brother was two years younger and my sister 8 years from me. We fell into categories of the narsassistic dynamic my sister the lost child my brother the golden child and I the black sheep. At a very young age I remember asking my parents why they didn't like me or why my siblings got special treatment. These studies show that even though I was too young to understand the full gravity of it all. This hase proven that children, young children in fact, do recognize the difference in not being given the same number of candies or gifts as the next child and will react negatively, as told in this article. 2. Describe the purpose of the peer-reviewed journal article in about 25 to 50 words. The purpose of the journal was to show how children in adolescent ages would react when not given the same amount of a certain thing. However, when climbing up in age, the children wouldn't react so negatively when things weren't distributed equally. Showing increased understanding and changing the defintion of fairness doesn't always mean equal. 3. Identify the major methodological design of the peer-reviewed journal article in about 25 to 50 words. There were ten trials, Four Disadvantageous Inequality (DI) trials provided a choice between an equal option and an option in which the subject would receive less than the other child. Four Advantageous Inequality (AI) trials provided a choice between an equal option and an option in which the subject would receive more than the other child. Then the last two control trials assessed how often children would take a cost of 1 token. Ten trials taking place, to measure the different outcomes of how these children would react to the disadvantage, or what resources would they use to make the outcome relatively equal in all aspects. 4. Identify strengths and weaknesses of the specific measurement used to operationalize one of the key variables in about 50 to 100 words.

3 The weakness would be the number of trials they did, only being 10. I wouldn't think one could get a good read on how children would react doing only 10 different trials of the same behavior, just with different ages. The age span of the adolescents would have been a strength, because it showed how different children would act only a few years in range of one another. I think they also should have had tests mixing the ages groups to show comparisons of the two age groups interacting with each other. 5. Identify the key variables and how they were operationalized in the study (i.e., what measures were used) in about 100 to 150 words. The key variables were Disadvantageous Inequity, Advantageous Inequity, 10 trials for this research factor, then factors of Inequality Magnitude, Inequality Type, and lastly Cost for the last test they took with the children. Also, the ages of the children were a factoring the difference in behaviors that the children behaved in. The results of all the trials showed various different outcomes, but overall, no child enjoys not getting the same amount as another. It showed that children even without full context or gravity of life situations have an inherited ability to see unfairness and feel that emotion even without the tools to explain that emotion.
