Dr. Lee notes that his experiment only measures the immediate effects and more studies are needed to determine what long-term effects may occur from more positive moral stories. He also suggests that for young children, dire consequences like death are still beyond their comprehension. Still, the implication is that the highlighting of prosocial behaviors has a beneficial effect on children’s moral behavior. Dr. Lee notes there is also another important implication from the results. In his conclusion he writes, “People must not blindly accept that classic moral stories are educationally beneficial simply because of their long history of use. Empirical studies are needed to ascertain their true educational value.”
