3-156 - The Development of Children’s Fairness Conceptions

Sat, March 21, 1:55 to 3:25pm, Penn CC, Floor: 100 Level, Room 106AB

Session Type: Paper Session

Integrative Statement

This symposium brings together new perspectives on the development of children’s fairness conceptions from early to middle childhood. The first two papers examine how infants and young children attend to moral norms as a function of accompanying positive or negative vocal stimuli. The findings document that vocal stimuli may serve an important role in communicating moral norms. The third and fourth papers investigate how children’s conceptions of fairness differ depending on resource type, outcome, and intention. The results reveal that children incorporate equity concerns into their conceptions of fairness, and they make distinctions based on the severity of the outcome and valence of the intention motivating the act.
