Abstract

This study investigates children’s social preferences and their associated factors using a longitudinal dataset from an ongoing early childhood panel in rural Thailand with rich information on children, family structure, caregivers, and households. We find several factors, from internalizing behavior problems and child order to family structure and household donation decisions, are correlated with children’s social preferences, whereas other variables, such as screen time, socialization activities, and caregivers’ characteristics, are not.
