DONATO-OLIVA, Angela. Sense of ownership in children: evolutionary bases. Psicol. caribe [online]. 2020, vol.37, n.3, pp.283-301. Epub 18-Oct-2021. ISSN 0123-417X. https://doi.org/10.14482/psdc.37.3.155.413.
The sense of ownership reflects people’s understanding and judgment regarding the appropriation and use of available resources. From an evolutionary approach, the aims of this paper were to conduct a theoretical analysis on the ontogenesis of the sense of property, seeking to describe the criteria used by children to assign property to someone and to put forward an explanatory hypothesis that there is an adaptive advantage in this capacity. Preliminary conclusions suggest that children, in different cultures, use varying criteria to make judgments and inferences about possess and ownership, and that the early emergence of this ability would play an important role in social interactions, such as minimizing conflicts arising from resource disputes.
