The eight moral story‐cartoons used by von Wright & Niemelä (1966) were given to 20 four to six‐year old nursery school children who rated them on a six‐point scale. The resulting order of mean ratings was identical with the order of scale values constructed from the pair‐comparisons of the 10‐year‐old group in the original study and closer to the order of 13‐year‐olds than to that of the seven‐year‐olds.
