Children's Narratives about Hypothetical Moral Dilemmas and Objective Measures of Their Conscience: Mutual Relations and Socialization Antecedents.
Kochanska, Grazyna; And Others
Child Development, v67 n4 p1420-36 Aug 1996
Explored children's conscience using narrative measures of responses to hypothetical moral dilemmas and objective measures. Found that children who experienced more power-assertive maternal discipline produced fewer themes of commitment to and concern about good behavior and were more poorly internalized on observed and mother-reported measures. Girls were more internalized than boys on narrative and objective conscience measures. (MOK)
