The child's prosocial moral reasoning

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prosocial moral reasoning refers to reasoning that promotes altruistic or helpful behavior towards others. Therefore, option C is the correct answer as it states that this type of reasoning encourages altruistic behavior. The other options are incorrect as instrumental aggression (option A) involves using aggression as a means of achieving a goal, and this is not aligned with prosocial moral reasoning. Similarly, option B stating that prosocial moral reasoning develops in a coercive home environment is not supported by research. Finally, option D, stating that prosocial moral reasoning encourages egocentric, selfish actions, is also incorrect as these two approaches are in opposition to each other.
