The current study tested whether preschoolers' moral and social-conventional judgments change under social pressure using Asch's conformity paradigm. A sample of 132 preschoolers (Mage=3.83years, SD=0.85) rated the acceptability of moral and social-conventional events and also completed a visual judgment task (i.e., comparing line length) both independently and after having viewed two peers who consistently made immoral, unconventional, or visually inaccurate judgments. Results showed evidence of conformity on all three tasks, but conformity was stronger on the social-conventional task than on the moral and visual tasks. Older children were less susceptible to pressure for social conformity for the moral and visual tasks but not for the conventional task.
当前的研究使用阿施从众范式，测试了学龄前儿童的道德和社会习俗判断在社会压力下是否会发生变化。132名学龄前儿童（平均年龄=3.83岁，标准差=0.85）组成的样本对道德和社会习俗事件的可接受性进行了评分，并且在独立完成以及观看了两名同伴始终做出不道德、反传统或视觉判断不准确的行为后，还完成了一项视觉判断任务（即比较线的长度）。结果显示在所有三项任务中都存在从众证据，但在社会习俗任务中的从众现象比在道德和视觉任务中更强。年龄较大的儿童在道德和视觉任务中较不易受到社会从众压力的影响，但在传统任务中并非如此。
