問題詳情

【題組】⑶ Children as young as age 3 will intervene on behalf of a victim, reacting as if victimizedthemselves, scientists have found. 
With toys, cookies and puppets, Keith Jensen, a psychologist at the University ofManchester in England, and his colleagues tried to judge how much concern 3- and 5-year-olds had for others, and whether they had a sense of so-called restorative justice. 
In one experiment, when one puppet took toys or cookies from another puppet, childrenresponded by pulling a string that locked the objects in an inaccessible cave. Whenpuppets took objects directly from the children themselves, they responded in the sameway. 
In another experiment, when an object was lost or stolen, children tried to right thewrong by returning the object to the puppet it belonged to. 
“Their sense of justice is victim-focused rather than perpetrator-focused,” Dr. Jensensaid. “The take-home message is that preschool children are sensitive to harm to others,and given a choice would rather restore things to help the victim than punish theperpetrator.” (25 分)
