Abstract

Two studies (N_total = 1,153) investigated how adolescents reason about whether to report a transgression committed by a close friend versus distant classmate. In Study 1, sixth-ninth graders (M_age = 12.36 years, SD_age = 1.14 years; 55% girls, 44% boys; 2% Asian, 63% Black, 13% Latino, 7% multiracial, 7% White; low-income urban schools) were less willing to report close friends than distant classmates, for both high- and low-severity thefts. In Study 2, seventh-eighth graders (M_age = 12.87 years, SD_age = 0.07 years; 48% girls, 45% boys; 2% Asian, 2% Black, 3% Latino, 85% White, 2% multiracial; 29% free/reduced lunch) said they both actually would and morally should report close others less than distant others, but relationship affected "would" judgments more than "should" ones. In their explanations, participants most often appealed to practical outcomes, morality, and relationship to the transgressor-but frequency of these varied based on relationship to the transgressor and judgment type. These studies provide evidence that relational closeness influences both how adolescents reason about peers' transgressions and what they think is morally right to do-and that their reasoning involves both practical and moral considerations.

同伴关系如何影响青少年对基于偷窃的道德过失的推理。

有两项研究（总人数 = 1,153）调查了青少年是如何推断是否举报亲密朋友与远方同学的违法行为的。在 "研究 1 "中，六年级至九年级的学生（平均年龄 = 12.36 岁，最小年龄 = 1.14 岁；女生占 55%，男生占 44%；亚裔占 2%，黑人占 63%，拉丁裔占 13%，多种族占 7%，白人占 7%；低收入城市学校）在发生严重程度较高和较低的偷窃行为时，举报亲密朋友的意愿都低于举报远处同学的意愿。在研究 2 中，七至八年级的学生（平均年龄为 12.87 岁，最小年龄为 0.07 岁；女生占 48%，男生占 45%；亚裔占 2%，黑人占 2%，拉丁裔占 3%，白人占 85%，多种族占 2%；29%的学生享受免费/减免午餐）表示，他们实际上和在道义上都更不愿意报告关系亲密的同学，而更愿意报告关系疏远的同学，但关系对 "愿意 "判断的影响大于对 "应该 "判断的影响。在他们的解释中，参与者最常提到的是实际结果、道德和与违法者的关系，但这些因素的频率因与违法者的关系和判断类型而异。这些研究提供的证据表明，关系亲疏既影响青少年对同伴违法行为的推理，也影响他们认为什么是道德上正确的行为--而且他们的推理既涉及实际考虑，也涉及道德考虑。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有）。

期刊介绍： Developmental Psychology ® publishes articles that significantly advance knowledge and theory about development across the life span. The journal focuses on seminal empirical contributions. The journal occasionally publishes exceptionally strong scholarly reviews and theoretical or methodological articles. Studies of any aspect of psychological development are appropriate, as are studies of the biological, social, and cultural factors that affect development. The journal welcomes not only laboratory-based experimental studies but studies employing other rigorous methodologies, such as ethnographies, field research, and secondary analyses of large data sets. We especially seek submissions in new areas of inquiry and submissions that will address contradictory findings or controversies in the field as well as the generalizability of extant findings in new populations. Although most articles in this journal address human development, studies of other species are appropriate if they have important implications for human development. Submissions can consist of single manuscripts, proposed sections, or short reports.
