“…Second, a growing number of studies have shown prosocial behaviors have early developmental roots, including people displaying prosocial behaviors like fairness, trust, and reciprocity as children and even infants (Gummerum et al., 2010; Kanakogi et al., 2022; McAuliffe et al., 2015). However, it remains unclear whether prosocial behaviors in children are affected by social and nonsocial uncertainty, and whether children use strategies, like adults, to decrease/increase their prosocial behaviors.…”

Uncertainty is a fundamental aspect of human social life.Based on fruitful findings, the current review aims to establish a schema that outlines the relationship between uncertainty and human social decision-making: the influences of uncertainty on social decision-making (mainly prosocial behaviors) and the strategies commonly employed to reduce social uncertainty. Human prosocial behaviors are modulated by both social and nonsocial uncertainty. Specifically, uncertainty decreases prosocial behaviors by providing moral wiggling room or promoting loss aversion but also helps maintain relationships by mitigating negative interactions. Moreover, impression formation, impression updating, and compliance with social norms are crucial strategies for coping with social uncertainty, but they are subject to various biases. Finally, we highlight some important issues that need to be addressed in future studies. In summary,

“…Research by Kanakogi and colleagues has demonstrated that infants recognize the social goals of aggression and protection. Specifically, infants have been shown to avoid and punish aggressive agents (Kanakogi et al, 2013, 2022), and, from 6 months of age, preferentially approach agents who intervene to prevent aggression from occurring over those who do not intervene (Kanakogi et al, 2017). Control conditions confirmed that infants' preference for protective interveners was not due to intervention making an agent appear more social: Infants did not prefer an agent who engaged in mere social approach in a non‐protective way.…”

Core morality? Or merely core agents and social beings? A response to Spelke'swhat babies know

Spelke's What babies know describes the remarkably sophisticated mental lives of infants through the theoretical framework of core knowledge. To Spelke, young infants possess six independent core domains, two of which allow them to reason about the social world: the core agent and the core social being systems. Critically, Spelke argues that these core systems fail to communicate prior to 10 months, resulting in an inability to understand social goals. In this commentary, I review evidence that, contrary to Spelke's claims, young infants show robust understanding of social goals and intentions, consistent with claims of an early emerging moral core.

“…Aggressive behaviors have long been understood as serving different functions, which are recognized even by infants and toddlers. For example, infants and toddlers evaluate aggressive actions that defend a victim more positively than aggressive actions that harm a victim (Geraci, 2020; Geraci & Surian, 2021; Kanakogi et al, 2022). Thus, from early in life, individuals understand and make judgments about aggressive behavior.…”

“…Children interpret and evaluate signals from parents and do not passively accept commands from others” (Dahl, 2018; p. 237). This perspective gains empirical evidence from excellent work examining infant evaluations of aggressive actions toward third parties (Geraci, 2020; Geraci & Surian, 2021; Kanakogi et al, 2022), which recognize even infants as “thinkers” or “judges” and not just performers of aggressive behaviors. In other words, according to the interactionist perspective, children actively construct their own moral development, and are influenced by, but not merely passive recipients of, parental beliefs and commands.…”

Predicting child aggression: The role of parent and child endorsement of reactive aggression across 13 cultural groups in 9 nations

Parent and child endorsement of reactive aggression both predict the emergence of child aggression, but they are rarely studied together and in longitudinal contexts. The present study does so by examining the unique predictive effects of parent and child endorsement of reactive aggression at age 8 on child aggression at age 9 in 1456 children from 13 cultural groups in 9 nations. Multiple group structural equation models explored whether age 8 child and parent endorsement of reactive aggression predicted subsequent age 9 child endorsement of reactive aggression and child aggression, after accounting for prior child aggression and parent education. Results revealed that greater parent endorsement of reactive aggression at age 8 predicted greater child endorsement of aggression at age 9, that greater parent endorsement of reactive aggression at age 8 uniquely predicted greater aggression at age 9 in girls, and that greater child endorsement of reactive aggression at age 8 uniquely predicted greater aggression at age 9 in boys. All three of these associations emerged across cultures. Implications of, and explanations for, study findings are discussed.
