A Call Unheeded
This article discusses the obstacles to implementing education programs for divorcing parents, the goal of which is to make parents aware of the effect divorce can have on children and provide them with skills necessary to address such problems. This article attempts to differentiate between adopter and nonadopter courts, that is, courts that have adopted mandatory education programs for divorcing parents and courts that have not. The article als…
Use of Educational Materials to Modify Stressful Behaviors in Post-Divorce Parenting
A 32-page educational booklet was mailed to half of all parents filing for divorce in one urban domestic relations court over a If-week period. A total of 358 primarily lower-middle class intervention and wait-list control parents were interviewed by telephone approximately three months post-filing. Mothers in the treatment group reported greater reduction of loyalty conflict behaviors and increased encouragement of child-fathcr involvement. No d…
Children Caught in the Middle
Children from divorced homes are caught in the middle of parental conflict significantly more often and are experiencing more resulting stress than children from intact homes. Our intention was to use a brief educational intervention to reduce the number of times divorced parents put their children in the middle. Participants were 45 high school students with divorced parents (male = 22, female = 23; Mage = 15.8). These subjects rated the frequen…
Logical and Moral Development in Pre-Adolescent Children
A 10-wk. educational intervention on moral reasoning with pre-adolescents confirmed hypotheses that advanced concrete operations and beginning formal operations are necessary but not sufficient conditions for acquisition of Stage 2 and 3 structures, respectively
Attributions of Responsibility by Simulated Jurors
Simulated jurors (91 male and 116 female undergraduates) judged the guilt of and assigned the sentence for a defendant in an ambiguous murder case. Severity of crime and sentence decreased significantly with increasing stage of moral reasoning. The addition of evidence interpretable as guilt by association produced less severe guilt and sentence decisions at the preconventional and conventional stages. Results were discussed in light of numerous …
Relationship between moral and Piagetian reasoning and the effectiveness of moral education
Modification of moral judgment through role playing
Cognitive Style and Modification of Moral Judgment
Because of the cognitive-structural nature of the two constructs, it was hypothesized that changes in maturity of moral judgment induced experimentally through role playing should be related to Ss' relative degree of field dependence-independence. Field-dependent Ss were more susceptible to both positive and negatively conducive roles on an immediate but not on a 1-wk. posttest
Relationships between Maturity of Moral Judgment and Measures of Cognitive Abilities
Consistent with Kohlberg's stage theory, maturity of moral judgment was related to process or structural aspects of cognitive functioning, e.g., reasoning and analysis, but not to content, e.g., interests and Rotter's scale
