A fundamental question in cognitive science is how people weight and integrate competing considerations when deciding how to act. One of the most important everyday arenas of such conflict is the clash between self-interest and moral considerations---the familiar tension between wanting to do well and wanting to do good. The four papers presented in this dissertation illustrate that moral conflict is evident in infants and young children as reflected in their judgments and remembering. Paper 1 shows that coming up short in a social comparison is unpalatable for children, so much so that it modulates an otherwise-strong preference for generous individuals. Paper 2 expands this finding by suggesting that children rewrite aspects of reality in self-serving ways: Their memories exaggerate a peer's bad behavior, highlighting the possibility that this makes them look good in their own eyes. Paper 3 then investigates whether children condemn a person for treating others poorly, even though that person treats the child himself or herself well, and finds that children integrate material interests with knowledge of others' history when selecting social partners. Finally, Paper 4 extends this finding by asking whether children are equally conflicted when confronted with opportunities to buy into goodness and to sell out to badness and shows that an aversion to wrongdoers is a more powerful influence on children's decision-making than an attraction to do-gooders. Taken together, this dissertation seeks to enrich an understanding of our dynamic morality as it plays out across development.
