Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined moral emotion attribution in children, adolescents, and young adults. There were five primary results. First, although young children showed “happy victimizer” (positive outcome-oriented emotions) reactions, their judgments varied according to context. Second, children who understand mixed emotions might be sensitive to specific contexts when, for example, moral rules are recalled. Third, even adolescents display happy victimizer reactions when asked to attribute information to an excluder within a peer exclusion scenario. Fourth, there were very few “happy moralist” (positive self-evaluative emotions for acting morally) reactions in some situations. Finally, there are some relationships between moral emotion attribution and moral behavior. Even young children judge about exclusion using information provided by moral emotions. Moreover, children found it easier to make judgments about exclusion based on guilt rather than pride.
