Question 3

Researchers want to investigate developmental changes in prosocial behaviour in young children.

Design an observational study to investigate age-group differences (preschoolers aged 3–4 vs. primary school children aged 7–8) in cooperative play and sharing behaviours during interaction with a hands-on, collaborative museum exhibit.

In your answer you should provide details of:

  • the task and setting for the participants
  • the behavioural categories to be used and how the data will be recorded
  • how reliability of the data collection might be established
  • ethical issues to be considered.
