这项跨文化研究的道德判断的大陆汉族，中国-加拿大，和欧洲-加拿大7至11岁的儿童检查的评价叙事主角的适度的谎言和自我推销的真实陈述，他们做了一件好事的情况下。因此，故事中的人物要么撒了谎，要么说出了他们所犯下的亲社会行为的真相。中国儿童比欧裔加拿大儿童更积极地判断谦虚的谎言，而更不积极地判断自夸的真相。中国和华裔加拿大儿童比欧裔加拿大儿童更消极地评价不谦虚的陈述。最大的孩子的文化差异最大。中国儿童对适度谎言的评价显著高于加拿大儿童，加拿大儿童之间没有差异，但年龄和文化之间的相互作用显示，这三个群体在11岁时存在显著差异，中国儿童最积极，其次是中国-加拿大儿童，欧洲-加拿大儿童对适度谎言的评价最不积极。这些差异反映了尊重谦虚和自我提升的文化限制和文化适应因素。
This cross-cultural study of the moral judgements of Mainland Han-Chinese, Chinese-Canadian, and Euro-Canadian children aged seven to 11 examined the evaluations of narrative protagonists’ modest lies and self-promoting truthful statements in situations where they had done a good deed. The story characters had thus either lied or told the truth about a prosocial act that they had committed. Chinese children judged modest lies more positively and boastful truths less positively than Euro-Canadian children. Chinese and Chinese-Canadian children rated immodest statements more negatively than did Euro-Canadian children. The cultural differences were greatest with the oldest children. Chinese children rated modest lies significantly more positively than either Canadian group who did not differ from each other but an interaction between age and culture revealed the three groups to be significantly different at age 11 with Chinese children most positive, followed by Chinese-Canadian children, and with Euro- Canadian children evaluating modest lies least positively. Cultural strictures and acculturation factors respecting modesty and self-enhancement are reflected in these differences.
