Gravity, Punishment and Justice : A Clustering Analysis in French Teenagers’ Judgments of Antisocial Acts
Résumé
The aim of this study was to identify different positions regarding the way in which 412 teenagers of secondary schools, including 214 young adolescents (Mage = 12.5, SD = 1.5) and 198 old adolescents (Mage = 16.5, SD = 1.5), integrated four informational cues (the level of antisocial behaviour, the consequences in the classroom, the apologies and the teacher’s attitude) for judging the degree of gravity of anti-social behaviour during a Physical Education (PE) lesson. The judgments on the fairness and level of the punishment were also collected. Cluster analyses (K-means), ANOVAs, and chi-square tests were done. Three clusters were observed. The first cluster was called “Intolerance to Aggression”; the second was termed “Depends on Type of act and Apologies” and the third was termed “Tolerance Near Zero”. The relationship between PE and moral judgment is discussed.
