Abstract: Children in grades 1, 3 and 6 observed and evaluated a peer's performance on a concrete game-like task under two conditions: (a) where outcome was under the partial control of the player (skill) and (b) where it was not (luck). There were two difficulty levels in each condition, and at each level, outcome was matched between the skill and luck conditions by means of a yoking procedure.;Younger children rewarded more if the outcome was successful, regardless of whether the task involved luck or skill. Older children rewarded more for performance in the skill than in the luck condition, and only within the skill condition according to level of difficulty. The results are discussed in terms of children's understanding of causality and personal control.
