https://doi.org/10.61173/b2ghgy07Abstract
The article mainly discusses the importance of family environment factors for children’s moral cognition development. Secondly, it discusses the mutual influence between parents and children, thus changing the atmosphere of the family environment. It also discusses how positive and negative changes in the closed environment of the family during Covid-19 will affect the moral cognitive development of adolescents. Finally, the direction of future research is proposed. In future studies, the consistency or similarity of the parents’ basic data should be considered to ensure that the children in the study have similar family environments and reduce the factors that will affect the data and conclusions. In conclusion, this paper confirms that the family environment is the basis for influencing children’s future development. The influence between children and parents is interactive. In future research, additional longitudinal research, cross-cultural research, and research on the role of emotion in moral judgment are needed to further improve the family environment’s impact on children’s moral cognition development.
