Characteristics of environmental ethic norms of young children and factors in its development were investigated. Kindergarten teachers (n=161) and young children (n=51) participated in the study. Situations eliciting the participant's cognition of "Mottainai" and their judgments on the wrongness of environmental deviancy were investigated. The results revealed that the teachers and children tended to have cognition of "Mottainai" toward situations where a large amount of water, food, and paper were being used. The teachers did not try to be stringent regarding behaviors that were environmentally deviant, and were more forgiving about excessive use of materials in play settings. Children reasoned and judged antisocial behaviors and dangerous behaviors based on social domain concepts, whereas they judged environmentally deviant behaviors as not bad relative to others and could not interpret the behaviors as a norm deviancy. However, the results showed that many children interpreted water waste from an ecological perspective, suggestive of a fledgling sense of environmental ethics in the children., text, application/pdf}, pages = {25--36}, title = {Kindergarten Children's and Teachers' Cognitions of "Mottainai" and Their Socio-Moral Judgments about Environmental Deviancy<教育科学>}, volume = {62}, year = {2013}, yomi = {シュトウ, トシモト and エリグナ} }
