This study investigated whether recipients’ past moral or immoral behaviour shapes 4‐year‐olds’ judgements of the agents who either harm or help the recipients. Children (N = 161) watched the agent who either harmed or helped the antisocial, prosocial, or neutral recipient. Afterwards, children indicated their sociomoral judgement of the agent’s act, their attitude towards the agent and their perception of the agent’s emotions. Children liked the agent more, ascribed less sadness to the agent, and judged the agent’s actions as less bad when the agent inflicted harm against the antisocial recipient than on the prosocial and neutral recipient. The recipient’s past behaviour did not influence children’s evaluations when the agent helped the recipient. The presented evidence indicates that by the age of 4, children develop the ability to use complex moral reasoning that allows them to monitor whether the harmful behaviour of antisocial others is justified by retaliation for past transgressions.

儿童对反社会他人的社会道德判断,而不是对亲社会他人的判断,取决于接受者过去的道德行为

这项研究调查了接受者过去的道德或不道德行为是否会影响四岁儿童对损害或帮助接受者的行为者的判断。儿童(N = 161)看着那个伤害或帮助了反社会,亲社会或中立接受者的特工。之后,孩子们表明他们对代理人行为的社会道德判断,对代理人的态度以及对代理人情绪的感知。孩子们更喜欢代理人,对代理人的悲伤更少,并且当代理人对反社会接受者造成伤害时,与亲社会和中立接受者相比,他们认为代理人的行为不那么糟糕。当代理人帮助接收者时,接收者的过去行为不会影响儿童的评估。所提供的证据表明,到4岁时,儿童已经具备了使用复杂的道德推理的能力,使他们能够监控反社会他人的有害行为是否因对过去的过犯进行报复而得到正当证明。
