Returning to the Children Themselves:The Phenomenological Analysis of Children's"Gray Moral Behavior"
Children's"gray moral behavior"refers to the behavior that violates universal moral norms when children interact with the environment in life,driven by subjective morality or objective morality due to the incompleteness of moral development.Based on the method of in-depth interviews,this study explores the basic characteristics of"gray moral behavior"in childhood and its impact on personal growth in 13 adults from the perspective of phenomenology.The study found that the absence of authoritative others,the concealment of moral orientation and the rendering of peer groups are the main reasons for children's"gray moral behavior".After the behavior,the child was either educated in very different ways from the outside world or waited for a chance of self-redemption.Returning to the thing itself advocated by phenomenology provides a methodology for us to see into children's"gray moral behavior"in all aspects.Only by returning to the children themselves can we realize the essence of children's"gray moral behavior",tap the educational opportunities and dissolve the negative impact.
