Developmental Psychology on Honesty - Dictionary of Arguments
Slater I 169 Honesty/developmental psychology: By age seven, children show a strong distinction in their reasoning about lying in transgression contexts versus politeness contexts (Bussey, 1999(1); Heyman, Sweet, & Lee, 2009(2); Peterson, Peterson, & Seeto, 1983(3); Walper & Valtin, 1992(4)). In transgression contexts, a protagonist does something wrong, such as writing in a library book, and is later asked whether he or she did it. In these situations, the protagonist is likely to be concerned about getting into trouble by telling the truth. Children tend to be more approving of truth telling in transgression situations than in politeness situations, and less approving of lying in transgression situations than in politeness situations. By the time children reach age seven, they tend to view a concern for the feelings of others as a central factor that motivates lie telling in politeness situations (Heyman, Sweet, & Lee, 2009(4); see also Broomfield, Robinson, & Robinson, 2002(5)). >Stages of development. 1.
