This study aims at analyzing and discussing how the development of distributive justice occurs from childhood to adolescence, emphasizing egalitarian justice. 158 students from public and private schools, aged between 8 and 18 years old, answered a structured interview containing a story about children who experienced starvation and were supposed to be fed by a fictional character, called Pedro. The information about the children varied: in one of the stories the children all lived in the same town as the person who should help them; in a second story the children lived in a different country; in a third story the children's parents were terrorists; in the last story the children were thieves. At the end of each story the interviewers asked whether the children should be fed and why. The results show the answers vary according to the age of the participants and the stimulus-situation. These results were discussed mainly on the basis of Piaget's epistemological view.
