Relations among moral reasoning, domain specific perceived competencies, and self-reported engagement in risky activity (substance use and antisocial behavior) were examined with 110 10th-12th grade students. An exploratory model demonstrated that perceived behavioral competence mediated the relation of moral reasoning and engagement in risky behavior such that preconventional moral reasoning predicted perceptions of low behavioral competence, which was associated with engagement in risky activity. The results support contentions of moral theorists that a comprehensive theory of moral development must include self-regulatory mechanisms such as perceptions of competence in order to predict moral conduct.
研究人员对110名十至十二年级的学生进行了调查，以探究道德推理、特定领域的感知能力与自我报告的危险行为（物质使用和反社会行为）之间的关系。一个探索性模型表明，感知到的行为能力介导了道德推理与危险行为参与之间的关系，即前习俗道德推理预示着对低行为能力的感知，而这与危险行为的参与有关。研究结果支持了道德理论家的观点，即全面的道德发展理论必须包括自我调节机制，如对能力的感知，以便预测道德行为。
