Babies too, Understand Concept of Justice

Babies too, Understand Concept of Justice
"That's not fair!" Maybe this is a sentence of complaints of children. How early children can feel the justice? A new study has answered this question.

"We found that the age of 19 and 21 months, infants already have a general expectation of the concept of justice, and they can apply them appropriately in different situations," said Stephanie Sloane, psychology graduate student from the University of Illinois, quoted by Science Daily (18 / 2).

The research was conducted by Sloane conducted the study along with Renée Baillargeon and David Premack of the University of Pennsylvania, published by the journal Psychological Science of the Association for Psychological Science.

This study to test the experiment on four infants aged 19 months. Researchers then took the train toy and said, "I have a toy! Yay! ". Then he gave all the toys on the baby. Three other infants showed that there was something strange. They looked at one baby toy with a very long time to get up and then they lose interest.

Ekpersimen both performed on two girls aged 21 months. They are faced with two baskets and toys scattered. Researchers then come and say "Wow look at all the toys! It's time to clean them. "One of the baby then put the toy into the basket and another still fun to play.

Researchers then gave a gift to each child, whether clean or keep playing. In the next scenario, when they were told to clean the toy, the baby is immediately took the prize with no one to clean up.

"We think children are born with a framework of common expectations about justice," said Sloane.

And the application of the concept of justice is dependent on the culture and environment where their babies were raised. Some culture upholds the concept of sharing more than other cultures, but the basic concept that justice should be evenly distributed and allocated in accordance with the business is innate and universal. It is further revealed by Sloane.

In addition to justice, research has shown us that young children also have the hope to not harm others and help others in trouble.
