Children weigh need and level of disloyalty when evaluating disloyal in-group members
Major
Psychology
Research Abstract
The current study extends existing literature about children's views regarding the moral obligation of group loyalty. Findings indicate that children think loyalty to one’s group is not obligatory, and helping one’s out-group is sometimes a moral necessity, however not when it comes at a high cost to one’s in-group.
