When people think about moral judgment and reasoning, oftentimes they don't think time matters, because morality is something right or wrong. But morality isn't black and white: You need to take time and cultural differences into consideration in terms of how much weight people put on the past versus the future.
The study suggests that U.S. children tend to value future good actions more, indicating a cultural bias that can impact moral reasoning, while their Chinese peers emphasize past actions.
This understanding could influence broader societal attitudes toward conflict and may shape perceptions on issues like war, based on whether past or future experiences are prioritized.
