Question 17

Dr. Al-Jamil wanted to investigate sharing behaviour in young children during free-play. She set up a video camera disguised as a wall-mounted clock in a preschool play area and recorded whether children shared their art supplies (coloured pencils or modeling clay) when working at a shared table. Dr. Al-Jamil later coded the footage to see which material was shared first.

Dr. Al-Jamil's results are shown in Table 1.
