The present study examined whether adults and children can understand that the motivation (intrinsic vs. extrinsic) of prosocial behaviors can influence others’ emotions. Korean adults(Experiment 1) and 5- to 6-year-old children(Experiment 2) were asked to indicate the protagonist's emotions after listening to a series of stories. The stories varied on (1) whether or not the protagonist's desire was fulfilled after sharing his or her desired object and (2) whether his or her prosocial behavior had intrinsic or extrinsic motivation. Both adults and children reasoned that the protagonist would feel better when his/her desire was fulfilled than when his/her desire was not fulfilled. In addition, both adults and children reasoned that the protagonist would feel better when he or she shared the desired object with others voluntarily(intrinsic motivation) than involuntarily (extrinsic motivation). The results demonstrate children's understanding that others' emotions can be affected by the motivations of prosocial behaviors.
