To obtain this result, the psychologist did an experiment involving some babies say that they already can feel morality from an early age. One of the experiments involving infants with two dolls, one good act, and the other one being mean. The baby also prefer to play with dolls that good character.
This research project leader, Professor Paul Bloom, a psychologist at Yale University said, "The study shows that humans already have a sense of what is good and not from an early age."
In an another experiment, the infants were asked to watch a puppet play cat playing with two stuffed rabbits. When the cat throw the ball to the first rabbit, the rabbit re-pushed to the cat. When the cat pushed the ball into the second rabbit, the rabbit actually took away the ball.
In the study, the baby would prefer the first rabbit. When the test is again conducted in infants aged 21 months, they were given the opportunity to provide food to rabbits. Most babies punished both by pulling a rabbit from the rabbit food, even a baby who hit the second rabbit as naughty.
