  • Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Background:

  • Conscience development is crucial for moral functioning.
  • Understanding moral-emotional responsiveness provides insights into psychological development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the developmental progression of moral-emotional responsiveness in children and adolescents.
  • To examine the relationship between moral-emotional responsiveness and conceptualization of conscience stages.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized three semistructured questions from the Stilwell Conscience Interview.
  • Assessed 132 typically developing participants aged 5–17 years.
  • Evaluated comprehension of emotional responses to moral stimuli.

Main Results:

  • Identified six items scaled into five complexity stages.
  • Factor analysis revealed two moral-emotional responsiveness factors: Factor 1 (anxiety, mood) and Factor 2 (reparation, healing).
  • Age and positive correlations with age significantly influenced moral-emotional responsiveness factors across conceptualization stages.

Conclusions:

  • Moral-emotional responsiveness is a two-factor construct within the conscience.
  • Findings offer developmental guidelines for assessing conscience development and functioning.
  • These guidelines are applicable to both clinical practice and research settings.
