Modes of Moral Thought.

Steward, John

Journal of Moral Education, v8 n2 p124-34 Jan 1979

Norman Williams' moral development theory was tested with students, ages 7, l0, l2, and l5, in Durham, England. Tentative support resulted for his classification scheme and conclusion that moral development is cumulative in nature and that it occurs within four parallel modes: expedient, altruistic, intuitive, and heteronomous.
