Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Westermarcks will most likely consider incest avoidance as the most important moral principle when deciding on sleeping arrangements for their growing sons and daughters. This principle is based on the cultural taboo against sexual relations between close relatives, including siblings, parents, and children. Schweder and his colleagues' research has shown that incest avoidance is a universal and deeply ingrained moral principle in all cultures. The Westermarcks would want to ensure that their children's sleeping arrangements are consistent with this principle to prevent any potential for sexual impropriety.
