Abstract: This research studied the basis of moral judgement of children aged 5 to7 using two series of adapted paired stories, in one of which the differencebetween the two behaviour motivations in correct degree was enlarged, andthe other of which the difference between the two behaviour results in seriousdegree was reduced. It was indicated by the results that under both circum-stances, the number of children who changed from the previous judgement onthe basis of results to the judgement on the basis of motivation reached amarked level. According to this result, it could be considered that at thisphase the children were influenced by both the behaviour result and the beha-viour motivation, but the effect of the behaviour result was much larger thanthat of the behaviour motivation. And with the increase of age, the effect ofthe result reduced and that of the motivation increased gradually. The conclu-sion about the moral judgement of children at the age of 5-7 made by Piagetshould be replenished and revised.

Key words: moral judgement, judgement on the basis of results, judgement on the basis of motivation
