According to the cognitive developmental perspective, explain how cultural differences in socialization contribute to Chinese children's concepts of morality. Be sure to explain cultural preferences for collectivism and individualism.
What will be an ideal response?
A study of Chinese children ages 3-4 and 5-6 showed that similar to Western samples, the children overwhelmingly considered personal issues as permissible and up to the child rather than the adults. However, the Chinese children's justifications for moral transgressions focused primarily on the intrinsic consequences of the acts for others' welfare and fairness, as compared with the emphasis on avoiding punishment common in Western samples of preschoolers. These differences are consistent with cultural preferences for collectivism and individualism.
