Chinese and Canadian Children's Evaluations of Lying and Truth Telling: Similarities and Differences in the Context of Pro- and Antisocial Behaviors.
Lee, Kang; Cameron, Catherine Ann; Xu, Fen; Fu, Genyao; Board, Julie
Child Development, v68 n5 p924-34 Oct 1997
Compared Chinese and Canadian 7-, 9-, and 11-year-olds' moral evaluations of lie- and truth-telling in stories involving pro- and antisocial behavior. Found that Chinese children rated truth-telling less positively and lie-telling more positively in prosocial settings than Canadians. Both rated truth-telling positively and lie-telling negatively in antisocial situations. Findings suggest a close relation between sociocultural practices and moral judgment. (Author)
