摘要：In this case study, we researched, in a psychogenetic context, if children and adolescents, whenjudging if a person must be generous or not towards another, are influenced by the kind of bond(friendship or enmity) existing between those two people or by an absence of a bond (unknown). Weindividually interviewed, thirty students (aged 7, 10 and 13) from a public school in Vitória-ES. As aninstrument, we administered a story-dilemma that used a daily school situation in which generositycould be manifested towards a character, initially introduced as a friend, as an unknown person and,afterwards, as an enemy. We verified that the majority of the participants make decisions regardinggenerosity based on friendship and absence of a bond. The 7 and 10 year olds, however, had a moreintense generous action towards a friend than that towards an unknown person. In an enmity situation,the majority of the participants in all three age group showed an absence of generosity. In view of theresults, we can affirm that the absence of a bond influences the judgment of the majority ofparticipants in the two first age group. Enmity, on the other hand, influences the judgment of most ofthose interviewed from all three age groups.
