Babies Expecting Fairness
Transcript:
If babies as young as a year and a half old see someone else being treated unfairly, they expect the leader—the parent or caregiver—in that situation to step in and do something about it. "Babies evaluate others constantly." Renee Baillargeon is a psychologist at the University of Illinois. She led the research on babies expecting fairness.
"When these transgressions occur, babies evaluate parents and other leaders and say, 'Well, you saw this transgression. You know this is not fair. Are you going to do something about it?' And if you don't, then you are shirking your responsibilities, and it makes you less of a leader, less of a parent."
That's right, babies are judging you. Baillargeon says it seems babies are born with these expectations of what a leader is and how they should behave. The work is in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
