Prosocial Cyberball Game (PCG) - Owl task

In the game, children play a (digital) ball-tossing game with peers. In the first block of the game, all children typically receive the ball an equal amount of time.

In the second block of the game, one of the peers is systematically ignored by the other peers (never receives the ball). Participants have the option to show empathy by throwing the ball to the ignored player more often. The increase in the amount of throws from the first block to the next is then measured.
