Piaget

  • Egocentric
  • Incipient cooperation
  • Codification of rules

9
Social/Moral Development
  • Piaget argues that moral development is closely
    related with cognitive development
  • for e.g., children have difficulties forming
    moral judgments until they get out of egocentric
    thinking and are able to assume anothers
    perspective
  • rule-based games are a manifestation of concrete
    operations in childrens social interactions
  • these games provide structures circumstances in
    which children balance the rules of society
    against their own desires
  • methods for studying childrens moral ideas
  • behavioral observations of games
  • clinical interviews about rules and moral dilemmas

10
Rules in marble games
  • Piaget observed childrens rule-following
    behavior during the game of marbles (bilye)
  • and asked the children what the rules meant to
    them
  • alterability Can the rules be changed?
  • historicity Have they always been the same as
    today?
  • Origims How did the rules begin?

11
Boys playing marbles
  • Piaget observed how children actually played the
    game, and found that preschoolers typically
    played in an egocentric manner
  • if 2 boys were playing, each would play in his
    own way
  • they had little sense of winning, one might yell
    I won and you won too!
  • after age 7, children tried to follow common
    rules that determine who wins
  • at the beginning, Piaget found that children
    believed that rules were fixed and unchangeable
  • they said the rules came from some prestigious
    authority, from the government or God
  • after age 10, children were more relativistic
  • they said the rules probably had changed over the
    years
  • began to treat rules as social conventions that
    could be changed if the other players agreed

12
Stages of moral development Piaget
  • P. argues that moral development follows the
    childrens understanding about the rules of games

13
Kohlberg moral development
  • Modified and elaborated on Piagets ideas about
    moral thinking
  • used interviews with individuals based on moral
    dilemmas (e.g., the Heinz dilemma)
  • In Europe, a woman was near death from cancer.
    One drug might save her, a form of radium that a
    druggist in the same town had recently
    discovered. The druggist was charging 2,000,
    ten times what the drug cost him to make. The
    sick womans husband, Heinz, went to everyone he
    knew to borrow the money, but he could get
    together only about half of what it cost. He told
    the druggist that his wife was dying and asked
    him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But
    the druggist said no. The husband got desperate
    and broke into the mans store to steal the drug
    for his wife. Should the husband had done that?
    Why?

14
Kohlberg moral development
  • Found 3 kinds of morality that form a
    developmental order
  • The preconventional morality the child shows no
    internalization of moral values, just based on
    punishment (stage 1) or reward/benefit (stage 2)
  • Stage 1 (Heteronomous morality) (Age 4-7)
  • obedience for its own sake
  • involves deference to powerful people, usually
    the parents, in order to avoid punishment
  • the morality of an act is defined in terms of its
    physical consequences
  • Heinz should not steal the medicine because he
    will be put in jail

15
Kohlberg moral development
  • The preconventional morality
  • Stage 2 (Instrumental morality) (Age 7-10)
  • the child conforming to gain rewards
  • although there is evidence of reciprocity and
    sharing, it is a manipulative, self-serving
    reciprocity rather than one based on a true sense
    of justice, generosity, or sympathy
  • justice is seen as an exchange system you give
    as much as you receive
  • Ill lend you my bike if I can play with your
    wagon.
  • Heinz should steal the drug because someday he
    might have cancer and would want someone to steal
    it from him

16
  • The conventional morality the childs
    internalization of moral values is intermediate.
    He/she abides by certain standards of other
    people such as parents (stage 3) or the rules of
    society (stage 4)

17
  • Stage 3 (Good-child morality) (Age 10-12)
  • good behavior is that which maintains approval
    and good relations with others
  • the child is concerned about conforming to his
    friends and families standards to maintain
    good-will and good relations
  • a social-relational moral perspective develops,
    based on feelings and agreements between people
  • Heinz should steal the drug for his wife. He
    loves his wife and his wife loves him. You can do
    anything for love!
