  abstract  = {Traditionally psychological research had assisted (de lege lata and de lege ferenda) jurisdiction, legislation, and law enforcement. However, the fol1owing three examp1es support the thesis that certain areas of psycho1ogica1 research gain new concepts and hypotheses by considering re1ated juristic thought. First, a developmenta1 study on the judgment about neg1igent damages suggested a three-step deve10pment of the evaluation of neg1igence. That threestep development wou1d contradict Heider's sequence of responsibi1ity levels. Second, a cognitive algebra approach to asses the chi1d's understanding of the duty to compensate the victim for his 1055 caused by a culpab1e actor suggested a two-step deve10pment of understanding that duty. The chi1d of the first deve10pment a1 step wou1d regard giving on1y half compensation of the 10ss as doing his duty to repair damages. Third, the concept of cul pa and the "Strafzumes sungs 1 ehre" in the German juri 5 ti c thought are d i scussed as key concepts for innovating psycho1ogica1 research on a moral algebra. Insofar juristic thought proved to assist psycho1ogica1 theory bui1ding what would make the relation of juristic thought and psycho1ogy a relation of interdependence.},

  abstract  = {Children's information processing of risky choice alternatives was investigated in two studies without using verbal reports. In Study 1, the ability to integrate the probabilities and the payoffs of simple bets was examined using the rating scale methodology. Children's choices among three of those simple bets were recorded also. By cross-classifying the children's choice and rating behavior it was shown that a three-stage developmental hypothesis of decision making is not sufficient. A four-stage hypothesis is proposed. In Study 2, the influence of enlarging the presented number of alternatives from two to three and the influence of the similarity of the alternatives on children's choice probabilities was examined with those bets. Children's choice behavior was probabilistic and was influenced only by enlarging the presented number of alternatives. These results suggest that a Bayesian approach, based on two probabilistic choice models, should not be applied in order to analyze children's choice behavior. The functional measurement approach is, as was demonstrated in Study 1, a powerful implement to further the understanding of the development of decision making.},
