| Lee et al. (1997) - Evaluations of Lying and Truth-telling | Piaget suggests children begin to consider their behaviour at age 11. Kohlberg suggests there are 3 levels of moral reasoning. Sweetser (1987) argues understanding of lying is influenced by cultural norms and moral values. |
| Aims & Research Questions | To compare Chinese and Canadian children's moral evaluations of lying and truth-telling in situations involving pro- and antisocial behaviour. |
| Research Method | Cross-sectional Quasi-experiment Independent Measures Design |
| Sample | . |
| Procedure | All children presented with 4 short stories: 2 stories involved child who intentionally carried out a good deed. 2 stories involved child who intentionally carried out a bad deed. |
| Procedure (2) | Half of children presented with stories that showed child carrying out deed directly affecting another child (social condition). Other half received stories that showed child carrying out deed involving only physical objects (physical condition). They were asked questions about what the child in the story did. |
| Procedure (3) | Example story involves lie in pro-social setting. Question 1: Is what Alex did good or naughty? Question 2: Is what Alex said to his teacher good or naughty? Children asked to rate both story character's deed and verbal statement as good or naughty. |
| Results | Difference: Chinese children rated truth-telling less positively and lying more positively in pro-social settings than Canadian children, indicating that emphasis on modesty in Chinese culture overrides evaluations of lying in pro-social situations. |
| Results (2) | Similarities: Both Chinese and Canadian children rated truth-telling positively and lying negatively in antisocial situations, reflecting the emphasis in both cultures on the distinction between misdeed and truth- or lie-telling. |
| Conclusion | Moral reasoning can be influenced by our culture and the society we live in. Influence of socio-cultural factors become stronger as we age. Aspects of moral reasoning, such as judging antisocial lying as bad, may be universal. |
| Evaluation | Mainly collected quantitative data. No harm or distress to children. Low EV- task didn't reflect real life settings. Highly replicable- parts of procedure standardised. |
