Inhibitory control and inequity aversion
Description
This dataset contains the anonymized data and R scripts associated with a study examining the role of theory of mind, motor inhibitory control, and attentional inhibitory control in predicting children’s inequity aversion. The study included Argentine children aged 5 to 12 years who completed the Inequity Game, along with age-appropriate assessments of theory of mind and inhibitory control. Children’s decisions in each trial were coded as acceptance or rejection of equitable, disadvantageous inequitable, or advantageous inequitable offers. The dataset includes trial-level responses from the Inequity Game, demographic variables, theory of mind scores, motor inhibitory control scores, attentional inhibitory control scores, offer type, condition, trial number, and order of offer presentation. The accompanying R scripts reproduce the generalized linear mixed models reported in the manuscript, including models for disadvantageous and advantageous inequity aversion. All data are anonymized and do not contain personally identifiable information.

Steps to reproduce
Download all files included in this dataset. Open R or RStudio. The analyses were conducted using R version 4.2.1. Place the dataset and the R script files in the same working directory. Open the main R script and set the working directory to the folder containing the data files. Install and load the required R packages, including lme4, dplyr, and ggplot2. Run the script from beginning to end. The script imports the dataset, prepares the variables, and fits the generalized linear mixed models reported in the manuscript.
