Two Moral Orientations: Gender Differences and Similarities.
Gilligan, Carol; Attanucci, Jane
Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v34 n3 p223-37 Jul 1988
Examines evidence of justice and care perspectives in 46 men's and 34 women's discussions of actual moral conflicts. Also considers whether an association between moral orientation and gender exists. While gender differences are found, findings suggest that people know and use both justice and care perspectives in their moral orientations. (RH)
