Conscience in Toddlerhood : The Link Between Guilt and Helping Azad Manjiri, Sarah; Drew, Raechel; Hamlin, J. Kiley
Description
Experiencing guilt versus shame is linked to reparative prosociality in toddlerhood (e.g. Drummond et al., 2017; Kolak & Volling, 2022); but, how a tendency to experience guilt or shame relates to other empathic and altruistic behaviours among toddlers remains relatively unknown. Here, we evaluate whether 29-month-olds’ (n=48, Mage=30.23 months, SD=0.64) guilt- or shame-proneness (after breaking a toy; Barrett et al., 1993) is concurrently associated with comforting an ‘injured’ researcher (Zahn-Waxler et al., 1992) and sharing valuable belongings (Newton et al., 2016). Concurrent analyses unveiled that toddlers who exhibited guilt did not have higher comforting (t(44.36)=0.14, p =.89) or sharing (t(44.963)=0.23, p=.82) scores than toddlers who exhibited shame, suggesting that experiencing guilt/shame might not play a role in all the prosocial behaviours toddlers produce.

Experiencing guilt versus shame is linked to reparative prosociality in toddlerhood (e.g.
Drummond et al., 2017; Kolak & Volling, 2022); but, how a tendency to experience guilt or
shame relates to other empathic and altruistic behaviours among toddlers remains
relatively unknown. Here, we evaluate whether 29-month-olds’ (n=48, Mage=30.23
months, SD=0.64) guilt- or shame-proneness (after breaking a toy; Barrett et al., 1993) is
concurrently associated with comforting an ‘injured’ researcher (Zahn-Waxler et al., 1992)
and sharing valuable belongings (Newton et al., 2016). Concurrent analyses unveiled that
toddlers who exhibited guilt did not have higher comforting (t(44.36)=0.14, p =.89) or
sharing (t(44.963)=0.23, p=.82) scores than toddlers who exhibited shame, suggesting
that experiencing guilt/shame might not play a role in all the prosocial behaviours toddlers
produce.
