But is this willingness to help others dependent on external factors that make you more or less inclined to be generous?

To evaluate altruism and generosity, we conducted non-anonymous and anonymous variations of the dictator game and ultimatum game experiments and explored the role of anonymity, fairness, and reciprocity in high school students.
