Abstract :

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of recall on moral emotional attribution change. In the base of available sampling method, the participants were 139 boys from six to ten years old from academic, sport, and religious classes and clubs in Isfahan. Data were collected through two moral scenarios of Pushing (Nunner-Winkler & Sodian, 1988) and Stealing (Arsenio & Kramer, 1992) and interview with children and then analyzed by Chi Squire and Z- Test of paired ratios difference. Results indicated that recall changed moral emotional attributions from happiness to sadness. Thus, happy victimizer children respond based on emotional reaction, but recall helped them use the excellent self.
