Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: We evaluate the judgments and justifications of children with atypical development regarding family and school context rules. 314 children participated in the study: Atypical Group with 189 children with neurodevelopmental disorders (M = 8.53; SD = 1.79) and Comparison Group with 125 children (M = 8.8; SD = 1.503). The instruments used were the Sociodemographic Questionnaire and the Questionnaire on Rules in Family and School Contexts. The results obtained highlight that the children of the Atypical Group cited examples instead of definitions when answering the questions, and most of them did not present any rule concept; that prudential rules are less present among atypical children. In home context, the most common rules pointed out by children of both groups were the conventional type; despite their limitations in social functioning, atypical children have moral rules, especially in school context. We concluded that the educational is important for moral judgment.
