“…One distinct difference is that children from WEIRD cultures (Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic;Henrich, Heine, & Norenzayan, 2010;e.g., the United States, Israel) were found more willing to go as far as wasting resources to avoid inequity. However, this was not the same for their non-WEIRD counterparts (e.g., Uganda, China; Choshen-Hillel, Lin, & Shaw, 2019;Paulus, 2015;Shaw & Olson, 2012;Xie, Pei, & Su, 2019). Importantly, as the universality of inequity aversion is not yet settled, the present studies aim to address the unexplained gap in the willingness to discard resources.…”
