Procedures developed by Bronfenbrenner for assessing the responses of children to moral dilemmas were applied to 234 brazilian children. Three forms of a questionnaire were administered under conditions in which responses were ostensibly to be reviewed by adults, by peers, or, in the base condition, by no group at all. Unlike the typical pattern of results when this technique has been applied in other countries, the Brazilian children were unaffected by the three experimental treatments. The general level of responses which corresponded to adult morality was quite high-higher than for any sample obtained in the Western Hemisphere. Sex differences for the Brazilian sample were atypical in that male responses tended to be more moralistic than female responses. Comparative data are presented on 19 previous applications of these procedures
