1 Early Experience, Human Nature and Moral Development Darcia Narvaez, University of Notre Dame Tracy Gleason, Wellesley College 2010 Notre Dame Symposium on Human Nature and Early Experience

2 Darwin s moral sense Main driver of human evolution Components: o Social pleasure o Empathy o Memory function o Social concern o Habit control

3 Changes in morality? Decrease in empathy in college students (Konrath et al., 2010) Decrease in moral reasoning sophistication (greater self-centeredness; Thoma et al., 2008)

4 The Quest for Moral Exemplars Moral exemplars exhibit at the same time: higher affiliation with others (communion and compassion) higher self efficacy or agency (Walker & Frimer, 2008; 2009) Personality factors: agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, agency WWII rescuers: What else could I do? They were human beings like you and me. (Munroe, 2001)

5 Early Life Sets the Stage for Moral Development Mutually responsive orientation (Kochanska) Secure attachment (e.g., Kochanska, 2002; Weinfield et al., 2008) Empathy (Zahn-Waxler, Radke-Yarrow, Eisenberg) Self-regulation (Weinfield et al., 2008) Conscience (Kochanska) Openness (Greenspan & Shanker, 2004) Agency/self-efficacy/competence (Weinfield et al., 2008)

6 Early Social Life in the Environment of Evolutionary Adaptedness TOUCH: Held or kept near others constantly RESPONSIVITY: Prompt responses to fusses and cries BREASTFEEDING: Frequent (2-3 times/hr initially), 2-5 yrs CO-SLEEPING: Sleeping close to caregiver ALLOPARENTS: Frequently cared for by individuals other than mothers (fathers and grandmothers, in particular) PLAY: Enjoy multiage play groups in early childhood SOCIAL SUPPORT: High social embeddedness Among other things such as Natural Childbirth **Care like this we can call EEA-consistent** Hewlett & Lamb, 2005; Konner, 2005; 2010

7 Can we measure EEA- CONSISTENCY and TEST its effect on child moral development?

8 Family Life Project Studies Measure EEA-consistent care (maternal reports and/or observation) Measure early signs of moral development: o Maternal reports of empathy, behavior regulation, inhibitory control, guilt o Observed empathy, inhibitory control, attachment

9 Family Life Project Studies Four studies 1. Longitudinal research using data from the Centers for the Prevention of Child Neglect 2. Maternal survey in USA (online) 3. Maternal survey in China (paper) 4. Face-to-face: Maternal survey and measures of child behavior Research team colleagues: Alison Cheng, Jennifer Burke Lefever, Peggy Wang, Jeff Brooks

10 Study 1: Longitudinal 682/376 mothers (tested prenatally to 36 months) EEA-Consistent/Inconsistent Behaviors Breastfeeding (retrospective maternal report at 36 months), Maternal responsivity (HOME), Positive & negative touch (interview), Social support (interview) Child Outcomes (maternal report of moral behavior) Behavior regulation Social engagement Cooperation Behavior problems (internalizing/externalizing) Competence Cognitive development (intelligence, auditory comprehension, expressive communication)

21 Summary of Study 1 Breastfeeding: related to lower rates of internalizing behavior problems at age 3 Responsivity omaternal responsivity pattern seems to be set by 4 months ocontrolling for education and income/needs ratio, maternal responsivity related to several child outcomes including cooperation and both internalizing and externalizing behavior problems

22 Summary of Study 1 (cont.) Positive touch reported by mothers o at 4 mo. positively predicted children s behavioral regulation and social engagement more than a year later Maternal perception of social support (during child s infancy and toddlerhood) o positively predicted children s cooperation and competence and negatively predicted externalizing behaviors

23 Studies 2 & 3: Parent Survey Mothers of 3-year-olds o Study 2: USA, N=436 o Study 3: China, N=383 Survey of EEA-consistent care (caregiver behavior & attitudes) Breastfeeding: length and type Maternal responsivity attitudes Close physical contact (positive touch behaviors/attitudes) Co-sleeping; Multiple alloparents; Play (free play, play settings); Childbirth and perinatal experience Child outcomes o Empathy, Concern, Self-Regulation (My Child) o Inhibitory Control (CBQ)

30 Summary of Studies 2 and 3 Breastfeeding: Varied between US and China o In all cases, breastfeeding was related to positive outcomes, particularly more so than exclusive bottlefeeding Responsivity attitudes: Positively related to empathy and inhibitory control in both samples Touch behavior: Positively related to child outcomes; slightly more so in the Chinese sample The effects of touch attitudes were mediated by touch behaviors

31 Study 4: Face-to-Face 55 mothers and 3-year-olds Same parent survey of EEA-consistent care Children tested for o Physiological regulation (cortisol reactivity) o Emotion recognition o Inhibitory control (day/night, head/toes, lab gift) o Cognitive development (PPVT) o Attachment/empathy (MacArthur Story Stems) Mother-child interaction (Landry) o Positive affect o Warmth/responsivity

32 Study 4: Preliminary Findings Mothers positive affect negatively related to child s cortisol change (r = -.39, p <.02) Warmth/responsivity predicted face-to-face assessments of children s: o Identification of sadness (r =.36, p <.03) o Inhibitory control (marginal; r =.29, p <.06)

33 Converging Evidence Across the studies we found significant effects of breastfeeding, positive touch, responsivity and maternal social support on morallyrelevant outcomes. The EEA components may be worthwhile to use in studying the factors predictive of moral character.

34 Human moral personality may be epigenetic Peaceful cultures more typically follow the EEA components (Fry, 2005; Prescott, 1996) Consideration of the EEA context as a whole may be useful in our understanding of the development of morality.

39 Experience Influences Moral Nature Early experience builds emotion systems that underlie optimal morality Some cultures are better at providing for basic needs and creating a cultural narrative that leads to peaceful behavior
