Children's normative beliefs about aggression and aggressive behavior
TLDR
The authors found that children tended to approve more of aggression as they grew older and that this increase appeared to be correlated with increases in aggressive behavior.Abstract:
Normative beliefs have been defined as self-regulating beliefs about the appropriateness of social behaviors. In 2 studies the authors revised their scale for assessing normative beliefs about aggression, found that it is reliable and valid for use with elementary school children, and investigated the longitudinal relation between normative beliefs about aggression and aggressive behavior in a large sample of elementary school children living in poor urban neighborhoods. Using data obtained in 2 waves of observations 1 year apart, the authors found that children tended to approve more of aggression as they grew older and that this increase appeared to be correlated with increases in aggressive behavior. More important, although individual differences in aggressive behavior predicted subsequent differences in normative beliefs in younger children, individual differences in aggressive behavior were predicted by preceding differences in normative beliefs in older children.read more

Modularity in everyday life judgments of aggression and violent behavior
TL;DR: In this article, a review focused on one aspect of moral judgment of aggression and violent behavior in the context of the psychodynamics of everyday life: judgmental modularity, which suggests that from the victim's perspective, the severity of judgments or the relative weight assigned to physical damage, when information on intent and damage is available, will be maximized, whereas inverse trends will typify the judgments of the same person from the assailant's perspective.
