Children's Judgements of Emotion Following Moral Transgression.

Murgatroyd, S. J.; Robinson, E. J.

International Journal of Behavioral Development, v16 n1 p93-111 Mar 1993

Four studies revealed that (1) children judged a wrongdoer in a story to feel happy; (2) the incidence of happy judgments did not decline with age; (3) the presence of their teacher had an effect on children's judgments; and (4) some children judged the wrongdoer to feel sad rather than scared.
