The developmental origins of moral concern: An examination of moral boundary decision making throughout childhood
Fig 4
Children’s relative levels of moral concern for the 24 different entities across seven age groups (actual target stimuli depicted).
The number below each target refers to a mean score, where ‘not caring at all’ responses were scored as 1, ‘caring a little’ responses were scored as 2, and ‘caring a lot’ responses were scored as 3 (range of possible means = 1–3). This is for ease of comparison only, as the ordinal logistic GLMMs treated these responses as non-linearly related categories. Note that targets with equal mean scores for a given age group are included in the same frame. Note also that the ‘best friend’ stimulus was either male or female, depending on how the child answered the question “is your best friend a boy or a girl?”.
