Connecting moral development with critical pedagogy
Winston C. Thompson’s review of Moral Education for Social Justice by Larry Nucci and Robyn Ilten-Gee accurately captures the effort to integrate critical pedagogy with domain-based moral education. A core element is student participation in domain-based discourse entailing responsive engagement that transcends the cognitive activity of individuals. Those discussions may lead to action projects (praxis). Replying to Thompson’s review, Nucci and I…
It’s my own business!”
This study with 198 urban Chinese adolescents ( M age = 16.0, SD = 1.46) and their parents investigated the impact of parental control over personal issues in the context of everyday conflicts and adolescent self-reports of internalizing disorders as measured by the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI). Adolescents and parents completed the Parental Authority Index (PAI) assessing perceptions of parental control over personal, prudential-conventional, a…

Continuities and Discontinuities in the Development of Moral Judgments
Prior research has outlined developmental changes within the conventional and personal domains. Research thus far has provided only limited understanding of age-related changes within the moral domain. That research indicates that there are continuities and discontinuities across ages in moral judgments. The aims of the research presented here were to examine moral judgments in childhood and adolescence, taking into account applications of moral …
The Development of Korean Children's and Adolescents' Concepts of Social Convention
Previous research in the United States has revealed that children's and adolescents' understandings of social convention go through a developmental trajectory that includes an early adolescent phase "negating" the importance of convention. This study examined whether this developmental pattern would generalize to children and adolescents from the more traditional East Asian culture of Korea. Specifically, among U.S. samples, children in middle ch…
Moral Development and Education
The Personal and the Moral
Handbook of Moral and Character Education
Constructivist approaches to early childhood education focus on developmentally appropriate practices for children from birth to eight years of age (Bredekamp & Copple, 1997). The goal of constructivist education is to promote children’s development in all areas of the curriculum (science, mathematics, language and literacy, social studies, and the arts) and in all developmental domains (intellectual, physical, social, emotional, and moral) (DeVr…

Because It Is the Right Thing to Do
Education in the Moral Domain
This book brings together the results of 25 years of research on the domain theory of social cognitive development. On the basis of that research - which shows that morality is a domain distinct from other social values - the author provides concrete suggestions for creating a moral classroom climate, dealing with student discipline, and integrating moral values within the curriculum. Among questions addressed are: Is morality a set of rules we a…

Psicologia moral e educação
As rápidas mudanças sociais têm pleiteado, nos EUA, o retorno do ensino de valores tradicionais por meio de programas de educação do caráter. Esses esforços visam fomentar virtudes que levam as crianças a se tornarem pessoas "boazinhas", educadas, respeitosas e que tratem os outros com justiça. Ainda que se concorde com esse propósito, dúvidas podem ser levantadas a respeito da suficiência dessa abordagem da socialização no que diz respeito ao de…

Autonomy and the personal
This chapter asserts that the personal domain is constructed by children in their interactions with adults. It describes studies that document the ways in which children claim the personal domain and assert their autonomy
Social Class Effects on Northeastern Brazilian Children's Conceptions of Areas of Personal Choice and Social Regulation
2 studies examined middle- and lower-class Brazilian children's concepts of personal choice and social regulation. In Study 1, interviews of 40 middle- and lower-class children (9 and 15 years old) revealed that children across classes distinguished moral from conventional issues on the bases of rule contingency and act generalizability criteria. Lower-class children, however, were less likely to view conventions as rule contingent and more likel…
Adolescent judgments of the personal, prudential, and normative aspects of drug usage
Group-administered questionnaires were used to examine the social judgments of 139 9th- and 12th-grade students regarding drug usage. Subjects of both grades tended to view drug use as a matter of personal discretion or prudence rather than an issue of morality or social convention. High-drug-use subjects were more likely than low-drug-use subjects to view drug use as a personal rather than prudential issue and to view the behavior as less harmfu…
A cross-cultural comparison about what? A critique of Nisan's (1987) study of morality and convention
Social conflict and the development of children's moral and conventional concepts
Observations of naturally occurring social transgressions indicate that peer interactions in the context of moral conflicts differ qualitatively from those in the context of breaches of convention

Evaluating Teachers as Social Agents
This study examined if students evaluate teachers as respondents to social transgression on the basis of whether the teacher provides responses that are concordant with the domain (i.e., moral or conventional) of the transgressions. Findings were that students rated domain appropriate (DA) teacher responses higher than domain inappropriate (DIA) or domain undifferentiated (command) responses. In addition, subjects were found to generalize their r…
Children'S Social Interactions and Social Concepts
Observations and interviews were conducted in the Virgin Islands to examine the forms of responses adults and preschool children provided to moral and social conventional transgressions, and to determine whether children and adolescents made a conceptual distinction between morality and convention. Findings from both portions of the study paralled outcomes of previous observational and interview studies conducted with subjects in the United State…

Social Interactions and the Development of Social Concepts in Preschool Children
Nucci, LARRY P., and TURIEL, ELLIOT. Social Interactions and the Development of Social Concepts in Preschool Children. CmLD DEVELOPMENT, 1978, 49, 400-407. Observations were made in 10 preschools of interactions in 2 domains of social events: social conventional and moral. On the basis of criteria defining each domain, observed events could be reliably classified as social conventional or moral. As another aspect of the study, an interview was ad…
Conceptions of Personal Issues
NuccI, LARRY. Conceptions of Personal Issues: A Domain Distinct from Moral or Societal Concepts. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1981, 52, 114-121. The study employed a series of sorting tasks with 80 subjects (age 7-20) to determine whether children and adolescents make a conceptual distinction between events defined as personal matters and issues of morality or social convention. It was found that subjects at all ages ranked moral violations as more wrong t…
