This study aimed to explore the influence of different types of moral stories on the honest behaviour of children aged 7–11 using a field experiment. The research findings are as follows: 1. Compared to the control condition, moral stories with positive consequences of honesty significantly promote honest behaviour in children and suppress their tendency to lie. 2. The impact of different types of moral stories on honest behaviour in children varies with age. Specifically, compared to the control condition, moral stories with positive consequences of honesty significantly promote the honest behaviour of children aged 7–10. 3. Moral stories with positive consequences of honesty significantly promote honest behaviour in children because they convey positive and encouraging messages to children that “speaking the truth leads to positive consequences”. This study suggests that teachers should utilize moral stories with positive consequences of honesty more frequently to enhance students’ honest behaviour, particularly for 7–10-year-old children.
