Inconsistencies have been noted in how moral agency is conceived in childhood, leading to variations in children’s levels of inclusion/exclusion from discussions and decisions affecting them in children’s services and research. Through a scoping review of 261 articles, we examined the different ways in which children’s moral agency is imagined in the literature across different disciplines: education, health, law, psychology, and social services. A developmental psychology perspective dominated the results, while other viewpoints were less prevalent (e.g., children as active moral agents). We discuss how the different perspectives could be bridged to advance more integrated perspectives on interdisciplinary knowledge and practices related to childhood ethics.

儿童道德代理：跨学科范围审查

已经注意到在童年时期如何构想道德能动性方面存在不一致，导致儿童在影响他们的儿童服务和研究的讨论和决定中被包容/排斥的程度存在差异。通过对 261 篇文章的范围审查，我们研究了在不同学科的文献中想象儿童道德能动性的不同方式：教育、健康、法律、心理学和社会服务。发展心理学的观点主导了结果，而其他观点则不那么普遍（例如，儿童作为积极的道德代理人）。我们讨论了如何将不同的观点联系起来，以推进与儿童伦理相关的跨学科知识和实践的更加综合的观点。
