Manon D. Gouiran; Florian Cova – Cognitive Science, 2024

Brimbal, L.; Crossman, A. M. – Journal of Moral Education, 2023
Adults deliver mixed messages to children about the acceptability of truth- and lie-telling across contexts. To probe this discrepancy, we investigated how adults evaluate children's truths and lies across various situations. Participants watched videos of children telling prosocial lies or hurtful truths that varied in their directness (blunt or…

Cohen, Dale J.; Cromley, Amanda R.; Freda, Katelyn E.; White, Madeline – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2022
Here, we present a strong test of the hypothesis that sacrificial moral dilemmas are solved using the same value-based decision mechanism that operates on decisions concerning economic goods. To test this hypothesis, we developed Psychological Value Theory. Psychological Value Theory is an expansion and generalization of Cohen and Ahn's (2016)…

Gomez-Lavin, Javier; Prinz, Jesse – Journal of Moral Education, 2019
Recent studies demonstrate a moral self effect: continuity in moral values is crucial to ascriptions of identity in and over time. Since Locke, personal identity has been referred to as a 'forensic' concept, meaning that it plays a role in attributions of moral responsibility. If moral values are crucial to identity over time, then perceived…

Noh, Jee Young; Jambon, Marc; Smetana, Judith G.; Lee, In Jae; Killen, Melanie – Merrill-Palmer Quarterly: Journal of Developmental Psychology, 2020
Children's evaluations of necessary harm (acts intended to prevent a greater harm) and how "maternal disapproval" and "peer relationship" play roles in this context were examined. A total of 120 children at 6, 9, and 12 years of age evaluated scenarios depicting prototypic and necessary (physical or verbal) harm. When a mother…

Hedayati-Mehdiabadi, Amir; Huang, Wenhao David; Oh, Eunjung Grace – Journal of Moral Education, 2020
Evaluations are practiced in political contexts, posing ethical dilemmas to evaluators. It is important, therefore, to prepare evaluation students for ethical decision-making in their future evaluative work. This study explores the use of scenario-based moral reasoning and ethical argumentation as an instructional strategy for teaching evaluation…

Ling, Thomson J.; Hauck, Jessica M.; Doyle, Caitlin J.; Percario, Kristy N.; Henawi, Tiffany – Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association, 2019
Although several ethical decision-making methods exist, there is a dearth of research evaluating their use and effectiveness. This study examined graduate student papers by both art therapy and counseling students that applied either the DO ART model (developed for art therapists) or the ABCDE worksheet (for general mental health usage) to case…

Sonnentag, Tammy L.; McManus, Jessica L.; Wadian, Taylor W.; Saucier, Donald A. – Journal of Moral Education, 2019
When morality is important and central to individuals' identities (moral identity), it may heighten their sense of responsibility to behave in moral ways. Although research has linked moral identity to various moral actions, research has yet to demonstrate the association between moral identity and individuals' consistent moral choices, despite…
