96名哥伦比亚儿童（平均年龄= 7.7岁）和青少年（平均年龄= 14.6岁）对偷窃和身体伤害做出了抽象的判断，并在生存和报复的背景下做出了判断。所有参与者都认为，出于正义和福利的考虑，偷窃或伤害他人是错误的，而且大多数人也认为，即使这些行为有助于生存，也是错误的。他们对复仇的判断更为复杂，相当大的比例支持在这种情况下偷窃和伤害。此外，大多数人认为人们在大多数情况下会偷窃和伤害他人。此外，还发现了显著的年龄差异，并讨论了政治暴力对道德发展的影响。
Ninety-six Colombian children (mean age = 7.7 years) and adolescents (mean age = 14.6 years) made judgments about stealing and physical harm in the abstract and in the context of survival and revenge. All participants judged it wrong to steal or hurt others because of considerations with justice and welfare, and most also judged it wrong to engage in such actions even when they can aid in survival. Their judgments in the context of revenge were more mixed, with a sizable proportion endorsing stealing and hurting in that condition. Furthermore, the majority expected that people would steal and hurt others in most situations. Significant age differences were also found. The consequences of political violence for moral development are discussed.
