Relations among moral reasoning, domain judgment and engagement in risky behaviors were assessed with 68 students attending a Just Community school and 122 comparison students from the larger high school with which the alternative school is affiliated. Risky behaviors were perceived as personal decisions, rather than as ones of morality or convention. Engagement and domain judgment of risky behavior interacted; with increasing substance involvement, students were more likely to view the decision to use drugs and alcohol as a personal decision than as either a moral or conventional decision. Domain judgments of risks appeared to moderate the relation between moral reasoning and engagement in risky behavior, suggesting that moral education interventions must encourage youth to explore their views that much of their behavior is only their own business.
研究评估了68名就读于公正社区学校的学生以及122名来自该校所属大高中的对照学生的道德推理、领域判断与参与危险行为之间的关系。危险行为被视为个人决定，而非道德或常规决定。危险行为的参与度和领域判断相互作用；随着物质使用的增加，学生更倾向于将使用毒品和酒精的决定视为个人决定，而非道德或常规决定。对风险的领域判断似乎调节了道德推理与参与危险行为之间的关系，这表明道德教育干预必须鼓励青少年去探索他们的观点，即他们的许多行为只是自己的事情。
