The developmental origins of moral concern: An examination of moral boundary decision making throughout childhood
Fig 2
Summary of children’s overall levels of moral concern (collapsed over all 24 entities) across age groups and gender.
White bars indicate the proportion of ‘not caring at all’ responses; grey bars indicate the proportion of ‘caring a little’ responses, and black bars indicate the proportion of ‘caring a lot’ responses. The solid red line indicates the (non-significant) linear effect of age. The dashed red line indicates the significant linear effect of age (p < .001) on children’s ‘not caring at all responses’ (compared to the other two responses combined). Across entities, girls cared significantly more than boys (p = .013).
