American children's judgments of right and wrong

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that by the age of five, children's judgments of right and wrong are extremely similar to those of adults. However, this does not mean that their moral reasoning and decision-making abilities are fully developed, as they continue to learn and develop throughout childhood and adolescence. The media may influence children's values, but research has not shown that it significantly dilutes their judgments of right and wrong. There is no evidence to suggest that children's judgments are more similar to their grandparents than their parents.
