Abstract
Based on the domain model, 129 matched children from urban elementary schools in the US and Brazil rated how acceptable and punishable 12 protagonist moral vs. conventional violations were. Repeated-measure ANOVAs suggested that participants were more accepting and less punishing of conventional violations; more so for older or North-American children.
