According to Piaget's stages of moral judgment, a child younger than age ten will think which of the following is worse?

  • A. Someone who was trying to help his mother set the table and broke five dishes.
  • B. Someone who was stealing a cookie from the cookie jar when he wasn't allowed, and knocked over a cup that broke.
  • C. Someone who did not control the dog who jumped up on the table and pulled down a glass full of water, which broke.
  • D. Someone who accidentally dropped a dinner knife which could have hurt someone if they would have stepped on it.

Suggested Answer: A 🗳️
Piaget saw moral judgment broken into two age brackets: below and above age ten. Those under age ten tended to judge wrong-doings by the amount of damage caused rather than the intention behind the act. Hence, even though the person in answer A had the best intentions, he broke more dishes and, therefore, is seen as more wrong. Since the person stealing only knocked over one cup, it is not viewed as bad as breaking five dishes.
