References Judith Danovitch. Paul Bloom.(2008). Children's extension of disgust to physical and moral events. American Psychological Association, Vol 9(1), Feb, 2009. pp. 107-112. http://dx.doi.org.ezproxy.snhu.edu/10.1037/a0014113 Project two milestone Research study: Children’s Extension of Disgust to Physical and Moral Events 1. Select a peer-reviewed journal article and describe its relevance to you personally or professionally in about 50 to 75 words. This peer reviewed article is relevant to me because I am majoring in psychology in child and adolescent development. I also have a three-year-old son, so learning about how he sees and learns “disgust” is very interesting and I see many similarities in this article and in my personal life. 2. Describe the purpose of the peer-reviewed journal article in about 25 to 50 words. The purpose of this article is to identify whether a child can associate certain words with physical and moral events based on verbal or facial expressions of disgust. The word disgust is used in many ways, whether verbally or through facial expression. It can be used to describe odor, sights, actions, and the way someone speaks, such as using swear words. 3. Identify the major methodological design of the peer-reviewed journal article in about 25 to 50 words. The major methodological design is experimental. Researchers were able to create these experiments about how people interpret disgust into sociomoral transgressions. They study whether babies react favorably or adversely to anti-social and pro-social adults. They used surveys to collect data.
4. Identify strengths and weaknesses of the specific measurement used to operationalize one of the key variables in about 50 to 100 words. One weakness I found in the study was that they used boys only because boys don’t find many things “disgusting”. That is not always true because some boys do find things disgusting and some girls are tough and don’t find many things disgusting. Their sample population is biased. They should have studied all children. A strength could be that they used surveys and pictures to collect data and made it easier for young children to understand the experiments. 5. Identify the key variables and how they were operationalized in the study (i.e., what measures were used) in about 100 to 150 words. The key variables in this article were that they used the same gender in all three studies with different age groups. Based on the data collected from all experiments, the children used for the research were able to distinguish between disgusting events. The children judge physical events to be the most disgusting then moral violations and negative events the least. They were sensitive to the severity of the moral violations when using the word disgusting and made a disgust face. (Danovitch, 2008) References References References Pinker, S. (1997).
