One hundred and five high school and college students were given tasks of social sensitivity, perspective taking, prosocial moral reasoning, and prohibitive moral reasoning. Social sensitivity and perspective taking were positively related to both types of moral reasoning, but only for females. For both males and females, level of principled moral reasoning was greater for the prosocial dilemmas than for the prohibitive dilemmas. Findings are generally viewed as being supportive of Piaget's and Kohlberg's conceptualizations of the nature of moral judgment. Differences between the two types of unrelated moral reasoning are discussed in terms of the relation between an individually constructed set of ethics and a more general social code of ethics.
一百零五位高中生和大学生接受了社会敏感性、换位思考、亲社会道德推理和禁止道德推理任务。社会敏感性和换位思考与两种道德推理都呈正相关，但仅对女性如此。对于男性和女性，亲社会困境的原则性道德推理水平均高于禁止性困境。这些发现普遍被认为支持了皮亚杰和科尔伯格对道德判断本质的概念化。两种不相关的道德推理之间的差异是根据个人构建的一套伦理道德与更广泛的社会伦理道德规范之间的关系来讨论的。
