Also, to compare the responses of Chinese and Canadian participants to stories that involved lying and truth-telling, pro social and anti-social situations]]> 2016-11-11 12:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/11obeneyc/q5o97af4j8ol/wish/136989169 11obeneyc https://padlet.com/11obeneyc/q5o97af4j8ol/wish/136989505 120 Chinese children and 108 Canadian children from middle class families. The Chinese participants were from a city named Hangzhou (a middle sized city) and the Canadian participants were from a smaller city named Fredericton. The ages of the participants were 7,9 and 11.]]> 2016-11-11 12:59:17 UTC https://padlet.com/11obeneyc/q5o97af4j8ol/wish/136989505 11obeneyc https://padlet.com/11obeneyc/q5o97af4j8ol/wish/136990050 Stories either involving a main child character affecting other people or physical stories involving only physical objects were read aloud to participants. Two of the stories were known as pro-social and involved a child intentionally carrying out a good deed. The other two stories were known as anti-social and involved a child intentionally carrying out a bad deed. At the end of each 4 stories the child was asked by a teacher who had carried out the deed. In two of the stories the character lied and in the others they told the truth.

The children were then shown a 7 point rating chart which contained the following ratings: very very good (3 red stars), very good (2 red stars), good (1 red star), niether good or naughty (blue circle), naughty (1 black cross), very naughty (2 black crosses) and very very naughty (3 black crosses).

After the chart was exlained, the stories were read aloud to indiviaduals in a pre-arranged random order. They were read in the participants own language and presented alongside illustrations. After the deed section was read, the children were asked "was what he (or she) did good or naughty?". The child could respond verbally or non-verbally or both using the rating scale. The question was repeated after the 2nd part of the story (lie or truth-telling) was read. The interviewer systematically alternated the words 'good' and 'naughty' in the questions.

The two groups were similar in negative ratings of lying in anti-social situations and their positive ratings in truth-telling.

70% of Chinese 11 year old children rated lying positively in pro-social situations, compared to just 25% of Canadian children. - suggests Chinese are taught values of self-effacement and modesty and this may affect their moral reasoning as they age.

• The influence of socio-cultural factors becomes stronger as we age
