Document Summary
Work by piaget and kohlberg suggested that children were focused on consequences, not intention, making their morality judgements unlike those of adults. Work by karen wynn and paul bloom: evidence for origins of morality. Infants distinguish between good guys and bad guys (6-month-olds seemed to prefer the good guys) Infants feel positively towards prosocial characters and condemn antisocial characters. Infants punish those that are unlike them (us vs. them) Which may make sense from an evolutionary perspective: dark side of morality, social and cultural effects in older children. Older kids take the same amount or even less coins than the invisible other kids if it means that this other kids gets equal or more coins (sacrifice) In-group vs. out-group (kinzler et al. , 2007) show babies two videos, one speaks unnatural speak, another one speaks in normal. Found that babies choose what they"re used to, and prefer the lady with the toy that speaks the language they"re used too.
