According to Piaget’s stages of moral judgment, a child younger than age ten will think which of the following is worse?
Piaget saw moral judgment broken into two age brackets: below and above age ten. Those under age ten tended to judge wrong-doings by the amount of damage caused rather than the intention behind the act. Hence, even though the person in answer a had the best intentions, he broke more dishes and, therefore, is seen as more wrong.
