Children's Decisions about Naughtiness and Punishment: Dominance of Expiatory Punishments.

Barchard, Kathryn; Atkins, Cammie

Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v5 n2 p109-15 Spr-Sum 1991

Studied the possibility that children's decisions regarding naughtiness and types of punishment differ according to age and sex. Subjects were interviewed after hearing two stories from Piaget's study of children's moral reasoning. Significant age variability was found. Findings imply that children did not make the connection between the act and its logical consequences. (Author/BB)
