Cross-cultural research revealed that the most altruistic children come from societies in which:

A) children's work makes a genuine contribution to the well-being of the family.
B) parents encourage children toward individual achievement.
C) parents want their children to be leaders and to be self-fulfilled.
D) children are expected to spend their time playing rather than working.

In societies where children's work makes a genuine contribution to the well-being of the family, children learn the importance of cooperation, interdependence, and contributing to the greater good. This fosters a more altruistic mindset and behavior. In contrast, societies that emphasize individual achievement and self-fulfillment may prioritize competition and individualism over cooperation and altruism. Additionally, societies that prioritize play over work may not provide as many opportunities for children to develop a sense of responsibility and commitment to others.
