Using a quasi-experiment and a zero-acquaintance paradigm, this paper examines sharing behavior, which is represented by the willingness to give money in a Dictator Game. It explores gender and social anxiety differences related to this behavior, in terms of who is prone to receive more money. In addition to this, we investigated how the receiver\u2019s self-disclosure (positive or negative) influences the dictators\u2019 sharing behavior. Based on the original version of Dictator Game, involving a dictator and a receiver, one hundred and five adolescents aged 12\u201315, played Dictator Game in which they divided coins between themselves and the receiver. Our findings indicate that self-disclosure led to positive and gradual changes for non-anxious speakers. The anxious boy consistently achieved the highest money rate among all speakers, while the anxious girl received the lowest. However, her self-disclosure resulted in an increase in receiving. Across all situations, respondents reported slightly increased feelings of guilt and shame. Taken together, this study sheds light on adolescents\u2019 giving behavior by examining the interaction between adolescents\u2019 social traits and diverse social contexts throughout their developmental stages, ultimately influencing prosocial decision-making.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00332941241275611","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,18]],"date-time":"2024-08-18T22:18:25Z","timestamp":1724019505000},"page":"2043-2060","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["If I Share With You, Will You Share With Me?
