A Non-Kohlbergian Approach to the Development of Justifications for Moral Judgments.

Langford, Peter E.; Claydon, Leslie F.

Educational Studies, v15 n3 p261-79 1989

Reports on the results of 2 studies that use a non-Kohlbergian approach to categorizing justifications for moral judgments by Australian subjects from 7 to 15 and from 7 to 21 years. These studies support the view that moral reasoning up to late adolescence is largely a product of socialization. (KO)
