Personal Responsibility Antecedents of Anger and Blame Reactions in Children.
Olthof, Tjeert; And Others
Child Development, v60 n6 p1328-36 Dec 1989
Investigated the potential cognitive basis for anger in 80 children of 5, 6, 9, 11, and 15 years. Results showed that avoidability, intentionality, and motive acceptability similarly affected children's anger-related and moral judgments. Use of personal responsibility dimensions was associated with lower anger judgments. (RJC)
