Cognitive Bases of Children's Moral Judgments
Gottlieb, David E.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, 13, 6, 547-56, Nov 77

Moral dilemmas consisting of information about a character's motives and the consequences of his actions were devised in such a way that the order, concreteness and imageability of information were systematically varied.
