Abstract

Abstract:Children's evaluations of necessary harm (acts intended to prevent a greater harm) and how maternal disapproval and peer relationship play roles in this context were examined. A total of 120 children at 6, 9, and 12 years of age evaluated scenarios depicting prototypic and necessary (physical or verbal) harm. When a mother was depicted as disapproving of necessary harm, children across ages evaluated the act to be more wrong for verbal (but not physical) harm. In addition, children judged necessary harm to be more wrong when the victim was a disliked peer than a friend. In terms of age differences, 12-year-olds judged necessary physical harm to be less wrong and justified their choices with reference to actors' positive actions more than did younger children (6- and 9-year-olds). Findings demonstrated that harm type, maternal disapproval, and peer relationship status are related to children's judgments about necessary harm.
儿童对必要伤害的评价:母亲不同意和朋友关系状况的作用
摘要:研究了儿童对必要伤害(旨在防止更大伤害的行为)的评估,以及母亲的反对和同伴关系在这一背景下的作用。共有120名6岁、9岁和12岁的儿童评估了描述原型和必要(身体或语言)伤害的情景。当一个母亲被描述为不赞成必要的伤害时,各个年龄段的孩子都认为这种行为更像是语言上的(而不是身体上的)伤害。此外,当受害者是一个不受欢迎的同伴而不是朋友时,孩子们认为必要伤害更错误。就年龄差异而言,12岁的孩子比年龄更小的孩子(6岁和9岁)更倾向于认为必要的身体伤害不那么错误,并根据演员的积极行为来为自己的选择辩护。结果表明,伤害类型、母亲不赞成和同伴关系状况与儿童对必要伤害的判断有关。
