This study investigated whether peer-nominated prosocial and antisocial children have different perceptions of the motives underlying peers' prosocial actions. Eighty-seven children, aged 10-12 years old, completed peer-nomination measures of social behaviour. On the basis of numbers of social nominations received, a subsample of 51 children (32 who were peer-nominated as 'prosocial', and 18 who were peer-nominated as 'antisocial') then recorded their perceptions of peers' motives for prosocial behaviours. Expressed motives were categorized predominantly into three categories, coinciding with Turiel's (1978) 'moral', 'conventional', and 'personal domains'. Results indicate that children's social reputation is associated with the extent to which they perceive peers' prosocial motives as 'personal' or 'moral', with more prosocial children attributing moral motives, and more antisocial children attributing personal motives. Although traditionally Turiel's domain theory has been used to understand 'antisocial' children's behaviour, the current findings suggest that 'prosocial' children's behaviour may also be related to domains of judgment.
本研究旨在探讨被同伴提名的亲社会和反社会儿童对同伴亲社会行为背后动机的看法是否不同。87 名 10-12 岁的儿童完成了同伴提名的社会行为测量。根据收到的社会提名数量，一个子样本的 51 名儿童（32 名被提名“亲社会”，18 名被提名“反社会”）随后记录了他们对同伴亲社会行为动机的看法。表达的动机主要分为三个类别，与图尔的（1978）“道德”、“传统”和“个人领域”一致。结果表明，儿童的社会声誉与他们对同伴亲社会动机的“个人”或“道德”程度有关，更亲社会的儿童归因于道德动机，而更反社会的儿童归因于个人动机。尽管传统上图尔的领域理论被用于理解“反社会”儿童的行为，但目前的发现表明，“亲社会”儿童的行为也可能与判断领域有关。
