Effects of Intentions and Consequences on Children's Evaluations of Aggressors

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 27, 2, 184-189, Aug 73

Forty-eight 8-year-old and forty eight 12-year-old Dutch boys evaluated a story of aggression. Both groups judged the act more negatively when the agressor's intentions were bad, but the younger boys relied more on the consequences to determine their judgment than did the older boys. (Author/KM)
