    State-funded prekindergarten educational programming for all children is a rarity in the United States.

  • Relationship between Parental Child-Rearing Attitudes and Preschoolers' Moral Judgments

    Open AccessJames D Moran, Gayle O'BrienARTICLEPsychological Reports1984

    This study investigated the effects of parental child-rearing attitudes, as measured by the Parent Attitude Research Instrument, on the moral judgments of 35 preschool children. Correlational analyses indicated that maternal democratic control is related to more intention-based moral judgments by the preschool children. Data provide some support for Piaget's notion that parental child-rearing practices aid in the movement to intention-based judgm…

  • Influence of Structured Group Experience on Moral Judgments of Preschoolers

    Open AccessJames D Moran, Gayle O'BrienARTICLEPsychological Reports1983

    Moral judgment stories were read to preschoolers who were either in day care or nursery school ( n = 20) or at home, not attending any formal program ( n = 15). The group-care children focused more on intention in contexts involving injury to another person but tended to be more consequence-based in contexts involving personal property damage than the group at home. These data suggest the influence of the social environment on moral judgments
