The present study tested whether Hoffman's conceptualization of the relationship between disciplinary techniques and moral development can account for findings that delinquents score lower than nondelinquents on various measures of moral development. Twenty-six delinquent adolescents, 20 middle class nondelinquents, and 20 lower class non-delinquents were assessed on moral development using the following measures: resistance to temptation, moral stage, feelings after offense, judgment about the severity of punishment, and confession. The use of induction by parents was examined with a Q-sort administered to adolescents and their parents. On most measures of moral development delinquents performed lower than nondelinquents. Less induction was found to be used with delinquents than with nondelinquents. Induction was positively related to most moral measures. It was concluded that disciplinary methods may account for differential moral development of delinquent versus nondelinquent adolescents.
本研究旨在检验霍夫曼（Hoffman）关于纪律技术与道德发展之间关系的概念化是否可以解释以下发现，即违法青少年在各种道德发展衡量标准上的得分低于非违法青少年。使用以下衡量标准对 26 名违法青少年、20 名中产阶级非违法青少年和 20 名下层阶级非违法青少年进行了道德发展评估：抵制诱惑、道德阶段、犯罪后的感受、对惩罚严厉程度的判断以及坦白。通过对青少年及其父母进行 Q 分类，考察了父母诱导的使用情况。在大多数道德发展衡量标准上，违法青少年的表现都低于非违法青少年。研究发现，违法青少年的诱导使用量比非违法青少年少。诱导与大多数道德衡量标准呈正相关。结论是，纪律方法可能可以解释违法与非违法青少年之间道德发展的差异。
