Therefore, the children participated in a prosocial activity, in which they had to decide if they would like to share a prize with his/her classroom best friend. Finally, the experimenter asked them to explain the reasons for his/her decision. The results showed that children considered factors such as reciprocity probability, sharing cost, benefit to the recipient, moral justification and kinship. Furthermore, the conduct disorder symptoms group showed a weak association to social issues and younger children assign greater cost on sharing the prize, compared to older ones. It is possible to understand the reasons provided by the children in the light of evolutionary theories on cooperation, altruism and generosity. 2017 artículo científico 1413-294X https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=26155062001 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=261 Estudos de Psicologia application/pdf Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte Estudos de Psicologia (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.22
