Vasudev, Jyotsna

Briefly reviews the history of and current debate on sex differences in morality, and addresses some important issues raised by Gilligan and Attanucci (1988) related to sex bias in Kohlberg's stage theory. Underscores the political and psychological significance of Gilligan's ideas, and presents a demand for theory-driven research to substantiate Gilligan's theory. (RH)
