成年人对父母身陷囹圄的孩子往往反应消极。然而，这种消极情绪的发展基础仍不清楚。两项研究(N= 331 U.S.居民;多数白色;多数男性;从2019年冬季到2021年春季收集的数据)解决了这一问题。研究1探讨了5 - 6岁和7 - 8岁儿童对父母是否被监禁的同龄人的推断。据报告，与父母被监禁的同龄人相比，孩子们对道德信仰的确定程度更低。研究2表明，在年龄较大的孩子中，关于父母缺席的推断并不能完全解释这种结果模式。在研究中，与没有父母被监禁的同龄人相比，孩子们对同龄人的行为更不慷慨。这些研究阐明了早期的社会道德判断可能会导致对父母被监禁的孩子的消极态度。
Adults often respond negatively toward children with incarcerated parents. Yet, the developmental foundations for such negativity remain unclear. Two studies (N= 331 U.S. residents; plurality White; plurality male; data collected between Winter 2019 and Spring 2021) addressed this topic. Study 1 probed 5‐ to 6‐year‐olds' and 7‐ to 8‐year‐olds' inferences about peers with and without incarcerated parents. Children reported less certainty that peers with, versus without, incarcerated parents possess moral beliefs. Study 2 showed that among older children, inferences about parental absence did not fully account for this pattern of results. Across studies, children behaved less generously toward peers with, versus without, incarcerated parents. These studies illuminate how early socio‐moral judgment may contribute to negativity toward children with incarcerated parents.
