From the press release:

Adults are more compassionate and are up to twice as likely to donate to charity when children are present, according to a new study from psychologists.  

 

The research, conducted by social psychologists at the University of Bath and Cardiff University and funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), examined how the presence of children influences adults’ compassionate motivations and behaviours.
