Sexuality Development in Adolescence and Beyond
In her article on adolescent sexuality development, Miriam Arbeit [this issue] conceptualizes adolescent sexuality as a realm of desire, pleasure, and social development, raising issues of negotiation, empowerment, ethics, and identity. This is quite different from the standard approach that classifies adolescent sexuality as a type of “risk taking” and then explains it in terms of a special adolescent tendency to take irrational and pointless ri…
Identity, Genocide, and Group Violence
Adolescents and Their Teenage Brains
In 1991, I presented a paper on the rationality and maturity of adolescents at the biennial meeting of the Society for Research in Child Development in Seattle, Wash., USA. In the audience was Deanna Kuhn, then editor of this journal, who invited me to send her a manuscript based on my talk for publication in Human Development . The resulting article, ‘Adolescent reasoning and adolescent rights’ [Moshman, 1993], reviewed psychological research de…

Adolescents Are Young Adults, Not Immature Brains
When G. Stanley Hall (1904) wrote the first book on adolescence at the turn of the 20th century, he was describing a new cultural phenomenon that had emerged in the United States and other industrializing societies during the late 19th century. There had always been children, whether or not we theorized about them, but there had not always been adolescents. Of course, there have always been teenagers in the mathematical sense of persons who have …
Adolescent Reasoning and Adolescent Rights
In two recent cases, the United States Supreme Court addressed the authority of public secondary schools to exercise control over student publication in the school newspaper and student meetings on school premises. The Court ruled for substantial school authority with respect to the content of the school newspaper but upheld students’ right of equal access with respect to student meetings. These two decisions reflect inconsistent assumptions abou…
The Construction of Moral Rationality
Rational moral agents have justifiable moral perspectives and genuine moral reasons. A rational constructivist approach to morality highlights the rational basis for morality and posits that moral rationality is actively constructed via reflective processes that cannot be reduced to the causal influence of genetic and/or environmental forces. Cultural transmission and peer interaction are critical, and qualitatively distinct, contexts of moral re…
Reasoning as Self-Constrained Thinking
Reasoning, as distinct from automatic inference, is defined as a purposeful effort to generate justifiable conclusions. It involves the conscious self-imposition of what one takes to be justifiable constraints on one’s thinking. Four general forms of reasoning case-based, law-based, coherence-based, and dialectical are distinguished on the basis of the types of constraints they seek to honor. The development of reasoning is presented as a continu…

The Construction of Logical Necessity
Empiricist and nativist approaches to understanding the origins and development of conceptions of logical necessity are proposed and criticized. A constructivist alternative is proposed, incorporating contemporary ideas regarding the role of structure, mechanisms of development, the metacognitive basis of stages, and the relation of development and learning. Three stages are postulated. The first involves the development of various classification…

Us and Them
Genocide is commonly deemed to be either inexplicable or the result of special hatreds. I argue instead that genocide is an extreme result of normal identity processes. Four overlapping phases are proposed. (1) Dichotomization elevates one dimension of identity over others and, within that dimension, sharply distinguishes two categories: us and them. This may lead to (2) dehumanization, in which “they” come to be seen not just as different from “…
Adolescent psychological development
In this updated second edition, David Moshman develops his conceptualization of advanced psychological development in adolescence and proposes, in a new chapter, a conception of rational moral identity as a developmental ideal. Unlike the prototypical changes of early childhood, advanced psychological development cannot be understood as progress through universal stages to a universally achieved state of maturity. Progress is possible, however, t…
Homophobia and Academic Freedom
Addressing homophobia and heterosexism as a teacher raises issues of respect for the intellectual freedom of your students. The central thesis of this article is that these issues are best addressed on the basis of general principles of academic freedom-that is, intellectual freedom in educational and research contexts. Three cases are analyzed on the basis of principles developed by the Academic Freedom Coalition of Nebraska (AFCON). These princ…

Metacognitive theories
Reason, Reasons and Reasoning
The concept of rationality has its roots in a historic philosophical conception of human beings as creatures of reason. To act on the basis of reason is to act on the basis of reasons, which in turn implies a process of reasoning. An objectivist conception of rationality sees its essence as lying in the use of reasoning processes that conform to appropriate logical norms. A subjectivist conception of rationality sees its essence in the subjective…

Development of formal hypothesis-testing ability
It was postulated that formal operational hypothesis-testing ability includes at least three cognitive capacities: (a) implication comprehension, the ability to understand conditional relationships; (b) falsification strategy, the realization that to test a hypothesis, one must seek information that would falsify it; and(c) nonverification insight, the realization that hypotheses are not conclusively verified by supporting data.A total of 24 male…

The increasing sophistication of the theoretical knowledge that guides our behavior may be due in part to the increasing sophistication of the metatheoretical knowledge that guides our theorizing

Representation and Process in Reasoning about Logical Relationships
According to a popular conception of reasoning, the thinker first mentally represents given information and then processes the resulting representations. It is commonly assumed, at least implicitly, that difficulty of the representation step is solely a function of facility with the form and content of the information to be represented, while difficulty of the processing step is solely a function of facility with the operation(s) necessary to mee…
Prediction analysis and developmental priority
Froman and Hubert (1980) have attempted to show how recently developed prediction analysis techniques may be applied to issues of developmental priority, that is, to clarifying the interrelationship between two developing concepts. Although this work is in some respects an important advance over earlier statistical techniques, it seems to raise new problems: (a) It goes too far in identifying issues of developmental priority (sequence vs. synchro…
