Subjects were 30 cultural-familially retarded and 30 nonretarded children matched for MA within 3 MA levels. The subjects were administered measures of moral judgement and cognitive operations hypothesized by Kohlberg to constitute necessary but not sufficient conditions for attainment of specific moral stages. Moral and cognitive performance improved with MA, but there were no differences between the MA-matched retarded and nonretarded children. Moral judgement related more strongly to MA then to any of the specific cognitive operations tested. The findings failed to support Kohlberg and Gilligan's (1971) hypothesis that the moral judgment of older individuals should be more advanced than that of younger individuals matched for cognitive level, but they were in accord with Zigler's (1969) "developmental" concept of cultural-familial retardation.
研究对象为30名文化 - 家族性智力迟钝儿童和30名非智力迟钝儿童，他们在三个心理年龄水平内按心理年龄进行匹配。对这些研究对象实施了道德判断和认知操作测量，这些测量是科尔伯格假设的构成达到特定道德阶段的必要但不充分条件。道德和认知表现随心理年龄的增长而提高，但在心理年龄匹配的智力迟钝儿童和非智力迟钝儿童之间没有差异。道德判断与心理年龄的关联比与所测试的任何特定认知操作的关联更强。这些发现未能支持科尔伯格和吉利根（1971年）的假设，即年龄较大个体的道德判断应比认知水平匹配的较年轻个体更高级，但它们与齐格勒（1969年）关于文化 - 家族性智力迟钝的“发展”概念一致。
