Young Children's Evaluations of Acts Based on Beliefs Different from Their Own.
Wainryb, Cecilia; Ford, Sherrie
Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v44 n4 p484-503 Oct 1998
Interviewed 3-, 5-, and 7-year olds about events in which a character commits potentially harmful or unfair acts based on moral beliefs or informational beliefs not shared by participants, or based on informational beliefs shared by participants. Found that children accounted for informational beliefs in their judgments, but that children generally judged acts based on different beliefs to be wrong. (EV)
