The older kids that appeared to be more altruistic could’ve known that they were being tested and wanted to come across as selfless instead of selfish. So maybe as they got older they just became better manipulators because they know that selfish behavior is seen as unacceptable. Or maybe they legitimately were empathetic.
@princeakeem86467 жыл бұрын
This is true. It's difficult to tell whether they were just being manipulative. It tells me that learning social norms and courteousness might just be another expression of self interest; that our true motivation is the plaudits we hope to receive for being altruistic. The presenter does mention that once pressured or stressed, we revert back to a state that our innate bias dictates.

Azay Deelay yeah because at ten years old you wouldn’t be able to tell how obvious that test was? It would be pretty simple for them to see that they were being tested, and they chose the ‘kinder’ option because they thought that is what they were supposed to pick. Even though the examiners didn’t tell them what they were up to it wouldn’t be hard for a kid at that age to understand what was going on.

Never mind babies. I will tell you what I observed with a litter of kittens. There were three of them. A super-Macho male called MacGregor, a playful intelligent female called Mi Mi, and a woosey, wimpish greedy fur-ball called Burberry. MacGreggor and Mi-Mi were game for anything, They ran out into the yard and wrestled in the sunshine. Burberry didn't like the yard. He didn't really like the kitchen tiles either, because they were cold under his poor little feet. They were three kittens of the same litter, but their personalities were entirely different. And here is the big difference. When they shared a bowl of food, MacGreggor would happily let Burberry eat twice his share. But Mi-Mi would put one paw firmly in the middle of Burberry's forehead and push him away, snarling at him with her mouth full. And when they wrestled, if Burberry cried, which he did, because he was such a sook, sweet MacGreggor would immediately play more gently. But if Burberry cried when he ws wrestling with Mi-Mi, the effect on Mi-Mi was exactly the opposite. She would grab him, pummel him furiously in the belly with her back legs, and bite his ears as hard as she could. The more Burberry cried, the better she enjoyed it. Eventually their Mother would come to the rescue, grab him by the scruff of the neck and drag him up the stairs, with him squawking loudly all the way as his fat body hit each stair. My observation was that one of these kitten siblings had real empathy, and the other had none whatsoever. Children, in my experience, are just as variable.

I think the morality of a baby might derive from basic human instincts that come predisposed to them. Changing or becoming more complex as they age in their surrounding environment. There’s a good chance the reason why the babies liked the good dog more was because mirror neurons fired in the brains when seeing the bad dogs, making the babies self-reflect and putting themselves, at least to a very basic level, in the perspective of the victim puppet. Therefore preferring the good puppet and seeing it as an instinctual ally of some sort.

If the other rat was a new color of rat he'd never seen, he was more likely to just get the treat! So it's not just babies but some animals do this kind of thing too!

Before I could talk I recognized things by shape and color. I related things to events (ex. Bottle shape and the color equals yummy, blue striped stroller equals outside.) I would look at shape and color to know what it did. I was also good. I assumed all of life was wonderful and everyone was my friend. I also believe in an after and before life because why would I assume everyone is nice and life is perfect. I remember the first shock of dealing with a mean girl at the playground and it changed my life forever. I realized I had anger and I hated it but I knew I would need it to survive and it was unfortunate. I then started to hate people and realize they are different from me and the before life I was used to. I was obsessed with my mom and dad too I loved them and was grateful for them.

The 'prizes' that the tokens could be traded in for were probably junk like erasers, pencils etc. Small prizes like those may excite small children but as kids get older, they lose their luster. I'm thinking this is at least part of the reason why the older kids were less hesitant to give tokens to the other person and didn't care so much about keeping them for themselves.

it's a truly interesting study...I wonder about the up to 20% that didn't have those biases though. I am a high Enneagram 4 and have shown clear preferences for anyone who looked different from myself or who had skills I didn't have...pretty much since I was at least 4 years old, maybe younger. Which makes me wonder if I would have had a preference for wanting punishment for people similar to myself or not. They might be making some assumptions either way, but truly interesting

Even though I partially agree with the conclusions of this experiment (I believe our sense of "morality" is a mixture of our environment and our inner nature and they cannot be excluded from each other), I think that the experiment cannot be relied on 100% due to its execution. What makes us think that such young babies are choosing the puppets based on what they have seen and not based on any other random reason (colour, shape, just because)? Also, the fact that some babies did not do what they were expected to do gives us a hint on how the conclusions are not completely reliable. Anyway, that was interesting to watch and the babies were cute.

What I have witnessed justifies how we grow-up to be! Nature dictates that it is innate within us, even when we were babies to be self-centered, having to be assured that we get first before anyone else does, especially those whom we don't know personally, or those we are not familiar with. It is quite engaging to know that this only proves our innate behavior can either be still within us as we grow older, or having had the opportunity to be handled by adults who try to correct us before it becomes innate within themselves because they were allowed to continue doing such. It's so amazing how we grow-up to be if not being corrected when we think that this will eventually fade-away naturally. In the end, this is why we really need to be assured that we, as Parents, should be the first and foremost persons who will be observing behaviors and natural tendencies to unfold right before our eyes so we will not deny within ourselves that these things happen for a reason of which should be one of the so many things we should be at the look-out and corrected when they can distinguish what is correct to do from what is not. Being an educator, and proud to say, as being one of the first Teachers of my three wonderful adults now, has given me the greatest gift of fulfillment seeing their changes and development unfold right before my eyes! I will forever be thankful for this gift of parenthood, along with my ever supportive and loving husband, Hans for having to mold and nurture our greatest gift of Parenthood from God to become what they are now, all graduates, having a great time with their individual lives and modesty aside, so proud Parents of our Writer, Artist and Psychologist. So who says its all about nature? In reality, it is both from nature and nurture. Come to thinks of it, it feels so great to have been a part of their growing-up, along with the presence of their ever-supportive Dad! We are so proud of you three. Indeed, God is really good all the time!

Could the fact that the puppets were different colors and had different shirts have an effect. Everyone has their color preferences. I really like blue, so would I have chosen the blue one simply for that reason? However I heard somewhere that babies are actually colorblind to a certain age, so color differences might not actually b that big of a deal. I also wondered if they switched the sides the puppets were on. That may or may not have made a difference.
@EdwinLuciano8 жыл бұрын
+MoonstonePearl21 The answer is yes they switched the side where the puppet was on to account for the possibility that the children just preferred the puppet that was on one side. They also switched the puppet itself and varied the colors and textures of the puppets. Even absurd possibilities such as "Do girls prefer puppets that are red?" and "Do boys prefer puppets on the left?" are accounted for. This experiment has been carried out many times and the results have been peer reviewed in journals by other experts.

@EdwinLuciano8 жыл бұрын
+MoonstonePearl21 The obvious reason you want to switch the puppets is that you want to make sure that the children really are picking the puppet who they think is "good" but you also want to switch the puppets to find out if children just prefer grabbing objects that are to their left as opposed to their right or vice versa. That's not an uninteresting fact for a psychologist if it were to be shown in an experiment. It would be also interesting to follow up with the children to see if they are left-handed or right-handed and if that makes a difference too. If you're a psychologist and you discover something like that, even something like _girls prefer red puppets_ you want to take credit for it...even if that's not what your experiments were designed to look for in the first place! After all, lots of facts are discovered when people were looking for something else completely.
@moonstonepearl218 жыл бұрын
Edwin Luciano Ya. I know. I've studied psychology. That's all very true. You have to try and account for everything that could possibly make a difference. Also yes, following up on the children's dominant hand would be interesting as well. You are absolutely right about so many things being discovered while looking for something else. Just look at Pavlov's dog. Heck sometimes amazing things are discovered by complete accident when people aren't even trying to find anything.

At the 11:30 mark, I think there's another way to look at this. The argument made in this video, as I understand it, is that because children do not exhibit specific types of behavior when young, they are learning the more complicated behavior as they grow older. The alternative view, the one I lean towards, is that children's ability to think about situations evolve from both culture and more complicated mental processes. In behavioral economics, the question of generosity as tested with the blue and green boards could be an issue of the children thinking that it's a zero-sum game where the other child getting more equates to fewer for the child themselves. If that's the case, the older children may have more complicated mental models and therefore be able to see the situation as something other than a zero-sum game.

It is not immoral to have the most basic desire to have what we want. When we are surrounded by people who are like us we have thr illusion of trust. We believe that people like us also favor us. If kids are raised to believe that being different is favored... Perhaps the results would change. We cannot eliminate the family bias... the experience of family putting more value and attention on being nice.... Being nice takes many forms depending on what our community favors. We seek the most love and attention and I believe we seek that however it is subtly reinforced.

They'll figure out the rest on their own at their own pace.
