Three age groups (teenage; 50-65 and 65+) completed a written version of Piaget's moral reasoning tasks to determine the general level of moral reasoning and performance on eight separate categories. Significant age effects were found. Though the nature of the age group difference was mixed, younger subjects consistently achieved lower levels of performance. Results indicate that Piaget overestimated all subjects' level of performance on his tasks and that, although there are differences in different areas of moral reasoning, the relationship with age is not uniform in its direction.
三个年龄组（青少年组；50 - 65岁组和65岁以上组）完成了皮亚杰道德推理任务的书面版本，以确定道德推理的总体水平以及在八个不同类别上的表现。发现了显著的年龄效应。尽管年龄组差异的性质是混合的，但较年轻的受试者在表现上始终处于较低水平。结果表明，皮亚杰高估了所有受试者在其任务上的表现水平，并且，尽管在道德推理的不同领域存在差异，但与年龄的关系在方向上并不一致。
