Abstract
Adults did not differ the amount of money they gave to an in-group versus an out-group member; however, those who gave to an in-group member reported greater happiness from giving. Adults reported generally more enjoyment from giving resources to similar or familiar others compared to dissimilar or unfamiliar others.
