Re: "Moral" Behavior

[Drnanjo]

RJ,

There is a sequence like this in the very good 1990 PBS series "Childhood" in 
which Jerome Kagan observes while one little 2 year old boy is instructed by 
his mother to spill liquid on a doll and on a table top.  The boy demurs and 
becomes visibly anxious.  Kagan uses this as an illustration of the existence 
of "moral emotions" in very young children.

I know of no organized research on this topic, but would also like to hear 
about it if there is.
