Until a few years ago most experts believed that young children couldn’t lie. The late developmental psychologist Jean Piaget believed that children under 7 had trouble distinguishing between fantasy and reality and couldn’t be held accountable for untruths. But recent research indicates that children as young as 4 are quite capable of telling a deliberate lie to get out of trouble. Researchers believe the fear of a parent’s disapproval discourages a very young child from lying. But by the age of 8 disapproval is not enough. A child should understand the consequences of the lie and the ways in which it destroys trust.
A child who lies a lot may be asking for help. Recent research suggests that kids who are being treated for psychological problems lie almost three times as much as well-adjusted kids. A study in England in the early 1970s showed that one third of the children identified as chronic liars by their parents ended up being convicted of theft later on. Other studies indicate that children who have manipulative personalities are skilled at telling lies to get what they want. Two decades ago researchers devised a morality test called a Mach scale. They found that kids who scored high in Mach characteristics — cynicism, desire for power — often lied to achieve their goals.
How should honesty be taught? It seems that harsh punishment, thought by many parents to discourage lying, may actually increase it. "It creates a fear of punishment, rather than an internalized belief in moral behavior," psychologist Paul Ekman says. To help a child realize the damage lying does, a parent might use tales like "The Boy Who Cried Wolf for younger children and draw object lessons from the news as the kids grow older.
Just because parents learn why lies occur doesn’t mean they should accept them. Psychologists encourage parents to expect their children to be truthful. Ekman counsels parents to set a good example, avoiding even white lies as much as possible, and to stress the family’s bond of trust. He also reminds parents that they must remain compassionate. "A terrible act, a desperate lie to conceal it, needs to be punished," he writes. "But it also needs to be forgiven."
The article gives one an impression that children’s bad habit of telling lies can be effectively overcome______.
选项
A、by force
B、by inducement
C、by satisfying their needs
D、by example, feeling and reason
答案
D
解析
A是通过武力,显然不行:B是通过诱导,没有提到;C更不合题意。只有D比较完美地回答了问题。答案可以在原文的最后两段里找出。倒数第二段的最后一句暗示要“以理服人”;最后一段的they must remain compassionate是“动之以情”,set a goodexample是“以身作则”。
