Yaglovskaya. [Orientation on the moral norm in the actions and statements of children 5-7 years old]

Abstract:
Experiment with children, transferring from preschool to early school age is described. Children on this developmental stage start to form moral principles to manage relationships. Authors designed two type of tasks: "action" and "story". First one had two options: child could color a picture, or help another child, who seems to be unable to do it. "Story" included a conversation with adult, who described the same situation and ask child, what he or she would do. It was discovered, that five-years-old hasn't developed a norm of helping one in need – it's not presented even in verbal form. 6—7 years old orientate themselves during a conversation, but not in real actions.
