“…Similar to findings reported by Saelen and Markovits (2008), it was expected that the influence of selfevaluative emotions on moral decision making would increase with age. This expectation was not confirmed.…”

“…Thus, even though regret did not seem to influence adolescents' moral decision making in this dilemma situation (the majority of older participants opted for keeping the promise), it did not necessarily decline with development either. However, similar to Saelen and Markovits (2008), Malti and Keller's study did not present the various emotional outcomes prior to making a decision. Thus, it remains unclear whether these emotion expectations influenced decision making or were an outcome of these decisions.…”

“…Emotion expectancies and moral decision making: The role of adolescents' age Although there is little evidence for systematic age-graded change in the intensity of moral emotion expectancies over the course of adolescence (see Krettenauer & Eichler, 2006), the studies conducted by Saelen and Markovits (2008) and Malti and Keller (2010) suggest an increasing influence of self-evaluative emotions when predicting adolescents' moral decision making. However, because both of these studies are correlational, they do not provide conclusive evidence for developmental change.…”

“…An investigation of the proactive role of emotion expectancies for moral decision making requires studying actual decisions as a function of expected emotional outcomes. Saelen and Markovits (2008) took a first step in this direction. In their study, various hypothetical scenarios were presented where a protagonist needed to choose between moral and immoral ways of action (e.g., keeping or breaking a promise).…”

“…We did, however, include several examples of English measures that had been translated into other languages (Luyten, Corveleyn, & Fontaine, 1988; Rüsch et al, 2007) and several non-English measures that have been translated into English (Saelen & Markovits, 2008; Silfver, Helkama, Lonnqvist, & Verkasalo, 2008). …”

Research on the relation of guilt to psychopathology is highly inconsistent. Some studies suggest that guilt contributes to psychopathology; others suggest that guilt serves a protective role. This review of 23 theory-based definitions of guilt and 25 measures of guilt suggests that a lack of conceptual clarity may be to blame. Measures of guilt do not correspond well to the definitions from which they derive. Many definitions and measures reflect the intrusion of extraneous constructs that could confound guilt research. Furthermore, definitions and measures of guilt change with developmental level. Nevertheless, two broad conceptualizations of guilt emerge. Central to both is a focus on one's action or inactions involving real or imagined moral transgressions. Distinguishing the two conceptualizations is whether or not guilt is inherently adaptive construct, generating remorse, augmenting a sense of responsibility, and motivating reparation. Recommendations for the definition and measurement of guilt are discussed.

This study examined the various aspects of adolescents downloading music from the Internet. As of the present time (2013), no comprehensive study has been done among Israeli adolescents with regard to music downloading from the Internet. The present study examined the correlation between adolescents' moral attitude towards music downloading and the extent of their actual engagement in the activity. We found that more than 80% of the participants are involved in illegal music downloading, while gender, age, religiosity, Internet experience and average daily Internet use influence the frequency of downloading. We found that those who adhere to religious practices tend to illegally download less often than others. Long hours of internet surfing and rich internet experience raise the tendency to illegally download music. Age and gender were found to have only a minimal affect, if any, on the phenomenon. This behavior is explained in various manners, including the perception of the act (by the adolescents) as one that is accepted by society. Furthermore, the chance of getting caught and suffering any consequences is minimal, thus the deterrent hardly exists.
