    The origins of morality: Social equality, fairness, and justice.Melanie Killen - 2018 - Philosophical Psychology 31 (5):767-803.
    Tomasello’s A Natural History of Morality is novel, compelling, and comprehensive. Drawing on past and current research in developmental psychology, as well as moral philosophy, I make the following points: (1) cooperation is a significant major hallmark of early human sociality but is also the foundation for antagonistic goals designed to enhance one’s own group’s benefit at the cost of due justice to others; (2) interdependence coexists with independent autonomous thinking, which is necessary for challenging group norms, authority, and institutional (...)

    British Adolescents Are More Likely Than Children to Support Bystanders Who Challenge Exclusion of Immigrant Peers.Seçil Gönültaş, Eirini Ketzitzidou Argyri, Ayşe Şule Yüksel, Sally B. Palmer, Luke McGuire, Melanie Killen & Adam Rutland - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    The present study examined British children’s and adolescents’ individual and perceived group evaluations of a challenger when a member of one’s own group excludes a British national or an immigrant newcomer to the school from participating in a group activity. Participants included British children and adolescents, who were inducted into their group and heard hypothetical scenarios in which a member of their own group expressed a desire to exclude the newcomer from joining their activity. Subsequently, participants heard that another member (...)

    The moral obligations of conflict and resistance.Melanie Killen & Audun Dahl - 2020 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 43:e75.
    Morality has two key features: (1) moral judgments are not solely determined by what your group thinks, and (2) moral judgments are often applied to members of other groups as well as your own group. Cooperative motives do not explain how young children reject unfairness, and assert moral obligations, both inside and outside their groups. Resistance and experience with conflicts, alongside cooperation, is key to the emergence and development of moral obligation.

    What works to address prejudice? Look to developmental science research for the answer.Melanie Killen, Kelly Lynn Mulvey, Aline Hitti & Adam Rutland - 2012 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 35 (6):439.
    Developmental perspectives on prejudice provide a fundamental and important key to the puzzle for determining how to address prejudice. Research with historically disadvantaged and advantaged groups in childhood and adolescence reveals the complexity of social cognitive and moral judgments about prejudice, discrimination, bias, and exclusion. Children are aware of status and hierarchies, and often reject the status quo. Intervention, to be effective, must happen early in development, before prejudice and stereotypes are deeply entrenched.

    Group Norms Influence Children’s Expectations About Status Based on Wealth and Popularity.Kathryn M. Yee, Jacquelyn Glidden & Melanie Killen - 2022 - Frontiers in Psychology 13.
    Children’s understanding of status and group norms influence their expectations about social encounters. However, status is multidimensional and children may perceive status stratification differently across multiple status dimensions. The current study investigated the effect of status level and norms on children’s expectations about intergroup affiliation in wealth and popularity contexts. Participants were randomly assigned to hear two scenarios where a high- or low-status target affiliated with opposite-status groups based on either wealth or popularity. In one scenario, the group expressed an (...)
