The relation of self-understanding and moral judgment to dedicated prosocial behavior is investigated. Participants were African-American and Latin-American adolescents who had been nominated by community leaders for having demonstrated unusual commitments to care for others or the community (care exemplars). The care exemplars, and matched comparison adolescents, were extensively interviewed over the course of 4-6 sessions in order to elicit self-understanding, moral judgment, and implicit personality theories. The care exemplars were more likely than the comparison adolescents to: (1) describe themselves in terms of moral personality traits and goals, (2) view themselves as having closer continuity to their pasts and futures, (3) think of themselves as incorporating their ideals and parental images, and (4) articulate theories of self in which personal beliefs and philosophies are important. There were no differences between the care exemplars and the comparison adolescents in developmental stages of moral judgment nor in the abstractness of their implicit personality theories.
研究了自我理解和道德判断与奉献性亲社会行为之间的关系。参与者是非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔美国青少年，他们被社区领袖提名，因为他们表现出了对他人或社区的不同寻常的关爱承诺（关爱典范）。对关爱典范和匹配的对照青少年进行了4至6次广泛的访谈，以引出自我理解、道德判断和内隐人格理论。与对照青少年相比，关爱典范更有可能：（1）用道德人格特质和目标来描述自己；（2）认为自己与过去和未来有更紧密的连续性；（3）认为自己融入了理想和父母形象；（4）阐述个人信念和哲学很重要的自我理论。关爱典范和对照青少年在道德判断的发展阶段以及内隐人格理论的抽象性方面没有差异。
