Abstract
ARMSBY, RICHARD E. A Reexamination of the Development of Moral Judgments in Children. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1971, 42, 1241-1248. A battery of 6 revised moral judgment story-pairs that clearly contrast a purposive act with an accidental act was administered with 3 standard Piaget story-pairs to 240 Catholic and public school children ages 6, 8, and 10. It was found that a higher percentage and majority of the younger children made intentionality judgments in response to the revised story-pairs as compared with the standard story-pairs; younger children were more likely to revert to consequence-based judgments as the level of accidental consequences increased; Catholic school children were no more likely than public school children to make intentionality judgments in response to the revised story-pairs.
