Children showed higher intention to perform altruistic behavior when there were either many or few bystanders and the need situation was non-serious than when there were many bystanders and the need situation was serious at a significant level of .05. 3. Children showed higher intention to perform altruistic behavior when there were many bystanders and the need situation was non-serious than when there were few bystanders and the need situation was serious at a significant level of .05. 4.
