Daphne, age 6, is the only child of a wealthy family. Her parents both have jobs that require long hours. Their philosophy is that Daphne is a child and should not have to work, other than to keep pace with her class at the private school she attends. They employ a part-time nanny and a full-time housekeeper, who also cooks for the family. Daphne has shown an interest in helping the housekeeper cook, but the housekeeper discourages this and suggests she go play. What do these factors predict for the development of Daphne's prosocial behavior?
A. Daphne is likely to develop strong prosocial tendencies because her nanny's attention can be concentrated on her, the only child in the household. B. None of these factors is likely to negatively affect the development of Daphne's prosocial behavior because she is too young to cultivate it. C. Daphne is likely to display prosocial behavior regardless of her family situation because she is being raised in an individualistic culture. D. Because Daphne is not expected or allowed to work to help the household function, she will miss out on opportunities to contribute and cooperate.
