This study was performed to test whether there is any difference in the manner in which freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior dental students respond to dental moral dilemmas. An instrument composed of three dental moral dilemmas was completed by 483 dental students during the first day of class of the fall 1979 semester. An analysis of the results showed that freshmen rated principled reasons more highly than sophomores, juniors, and seniors. It appears that the differences in response to moral dilemmas exist early in the dental educational process, even before students have substantial clinical experience.
本研究旨在测试大一、大二、大三和大四牙科学生在应对牙科道德困境的方式上是否存在差异。1979年秋季学期开学第一天，483名牙科学生完成了一份由三个牙科道德困境组成的问卷。结果分析表明，大一学生比大二、大三和大四学生更看重原则性理由。看来，在牙科教育过程的早期，甚至在学生有大量临床经验之前，对道德困境的反应差异就已存在。
