Assignment of Moral Responsibility and Punishment.
Shultz, Thomas R.; And Others
Child Development, v57 n1 p177-84 Feb 1986
A theory of the assignment of moral responsibility and punishment for harm was tested with 5- to 11-year-old children. Results indicated sophisticated use of moral concepts from 5 years. Developmental trends suggested increasing sensitivity to these concepts, greater tolerance for harm doing, and more emphasis on restitution than punishment. (Author/DR)
