This study examined how intentions interacted with desires to predict the emotional consequences, and lead to the conventional judgments of protagonists' behaviors. Forty five children (5-, 6-, and 8-year-olds) and 15 undergraduate students were presented with situations in which desires were satisfied with intentions or without intentions, and desires were not satisfied with intentions or without intentions. The results showed that the subjects attributed positive emotions to the protagonists whose desires were satisfied, and negative emotions to them whose desires were not satisfied. The emotional predictions were influenced by intentions as well. They more frequently attributed positive emotions to the protagonists who intended to fulfill their desires than the protagonists who do not have such intentions, and attributed negative emotions to the protagonists who could not satisfy their desires even though they intended to fulfill them. The conventional judgments were also influenced by intentions. The subjects more negatively evaluated the protagonists' acts that violated the rules with intentions than without intentions. They evaluated negatively the intended violation even though the protagonists did not end up with violating the rules. The results were discussed in terms of the relation between theory of mind and deontic reasoning.
