This study tested intuitions about ownership in children of Dani people, an indigenous Papuan society (N = 79, Mage = 7, 49.4% females). The results show that similar to studies with children from Western societies, children infer ownership from (1) control of permission, (2) ownership of the territory the object is located in, and (3) manmade versus natural origins of the object. By contrast, they did not (4) infer ownership from the first observed possession of an object. Additionally, Papuan children showed (5) an absolute first possession heuristic, whereby they assigned ownership to a person who achieved a goal, in contrast to a person who was first to pursue this goal but failed to be the first to claim it.

所有权归属直觉是跨文化共享的

这项研究测试了巴布亚土著社会达尼人对孩子所有权的直觉。氮= 79,中号年龄= 7 人，49.4% 为女性）。结果表明，与对西方社会儿童的研究类似，儿童从以下方面推断所有权：(1) 对许可的控制，(2) 对物体所在领土的所有权，以及 (3) 物体的人造与自然起源。相比之下，他们并没有（4）从第一次观察到的对某个物体的拥有推断出所有权。此外，巴布亚儿童表现出（5）绝对的第一占有启发式，即他们将所有权分配给实现目标的人，而不是首先追求该目标但未能成为第一个实现目标的人。
