Twenty cross-cultural studies on moral judgment development using the Defining Issues Test (DIT) were reviewed with respect to cross- cultural validity, age/education trends, gender difference correlations with other psychological factors, religion, urban-rural, delinquency, and familial/societal factors. By and large, results indicate that the DIT has similar psychometric properties (factor structure, internal consis tency, and reliability) and construct validity in non-American cultures. However, the rate of development and the strength of relationships with other variables were found to differ across cultures. It is suggested that fine-grained research is needed to explain (rather than describe) the differences and similarities in terms of cultural and societal causation
