Beliefs about Truth and Beliefs about Rightness.
Chandler, Michael J.; Sokol, Bryan W.; Wainryb, Cecilia
Child Development, v71 n1 p91-97 Jan-Feb 2000
Makes a case for rereading the fact-value dichotomy that currently divides the contemporaneous literatures dealing with children's moral reasoning development and their evolving theories of mind. Presents findings from two research programs, in which children's beliefs about truth and rightness are combined, to illustrate the natural interdependence of these moral and epistemic matters.
