Children's social worlds aren't as large as adults', so one prediction this model makes is that children raised in small social worlds (homeschooling or other small communities) should have much less of an underdog bias than adults or children who interact with many strangers.
Intuitively, I'd say that's probably not the case; but it bears testing.
Maybe, but what about when those children discover that they are outside the norm? I'd imagine they might even be more likely to favor underdogs once they realize that they share the commonality of standing against the norm in some fashion.
