This study was done to assess whether sex-role influences moral decision-making. 71 subjects took the Bem Sex-role Inventory and a multiple-choice questionnaire based on Kohlberg's moral dilemmas. Researchers predicted that masculine subjects would base their answers to Kohlberg's dilemmas on law-and-order type justice, feminine subjects would base their answers on empathy and caring for others, and androgynous and undifferentiated subjects would select both law and empathy based responses. Sex-role was not significantly related to moral decision-making
