Question 28

Sharing Behavior Study

A developmental psychologist investigating early prosocial behavior observed 80 three-year-old children during a structured play session. Each child was given 10 stickers and could choose to share any number of them with a peer, resulting in a sharing score from 0 to 10.

The psychologist calculated measures of central tendency for the sharing scores and found the following:

  • Mean sharing score: 3.2
  • Median sharing score: 2.5
  • Mode sharing score: 1.0

Sketch a distribution curve for the sharing scores in this study. Label the axes of your graph and mark on it the correct relative positions of the mean, median, and mode.
