1. Children's Moral Emotions and Moral Cognition: Towards an Integrative Perspective (Tina Malti, Brigitte Latzko)
This chapter gives an introduction into the central theme of the volume. The authors suggest an integrative developmental perspective on children's moral emotions and moral cognition to provide a conceptual framework for understanding children's emerging morality and designing developmentally sensitive moral intervention strategies.

2. Moral Emotions and Moral Judgments in Children's Narratives: Comparing Real-Life and Hypothetical Transgressions (Eveline Gutzwiller-Helfenfi nger, Luciano Gasser, Tina Malti)
In this chapter naturally occurring moral judgments and emotions in real-life trangressions are compared with those in hypothetical situations.

3. Empathy and Social–Emotional Learning: Pitfalls and Touchstones for School-Based Programs (Bruce Maxwell, Sarah DesRoches)
The authors discuss the use of empathy in formal social-emotional learning programs. The chapter highlights three common pitfalls of empathy use in typical programs of this type.

4. The Problem of Moral Motivation and the Happy Victimizer Phenomenon: Killing Two Birds with One Stone (Gerhard Minnameier)
The chapter critically examines the theoretical background of empirical research on children's moral emotion expectancies within the happy victimizer paradigm. The author questions whether this approach is necessary to explain the well-known gap between moral cognition and moral action.

5. The Emotional Foundations of High Moral Intelligence (Darcia Narvaez)
Using triune ethics theory, this chapter provides an example of how the development of moral emotions and neuroscience can be integrated.
