AB -  Abstract The present study tested the effect of familiarity between allocator and recipients on liking for an allocator and on the choice of a distribution norm. Subjects were college students from Indonesia (n = 46) and the United States (n = 44) who answered a short questionnaire. All respondents—irrespective of sex, nationality, and level of friendship between allocator and recipient—preferred an equitable over an egalitarian allocator. An equitable allocation was also perceived as fairer than one based on equality. When subjects were asked to distribute rewards, they chose with greater frequency the equity norm.
