Document Summary
How do they learn what"s right and wrong: what we assume in this field is that you have to learn this type of knowledge you aren"t born with morals. How we think about moral situations: piaget, kohlberg. The conscience the list of what"s good and bad don"t lie, hit, steal, etc. tells us what we should not do. If we disregard our conscience, we feel guilt. Guilt is usually felt in relation to a specific infraction: 2. I hit my brother tells us the things that we should do. If we disregard the ego ideal, we feel the emotion of shame: shame refers to the feeling you get when you don"t live up to your own principles. E. g. you see your child has stolen a chocolate bar, and you have a conversation that is quiet and private about why that"s wrong. We can learn vicariously by watching and observation. Can also learn about rewards and punishments vicariously.
