Influence of Defense Mechanisms on Moral Judgment Development: A Longitudinal Study.
Hart, Daniel; Chmiel, Susan
Developmental Psychology, v28 n4 p722-30 Jul 1992
At age 13, and for the next 20 years, male subjects were periodically interviewed about their moral judgments. Adolescents with mature use of defense mechanisms reasoned at higher stages of moral judgment 10 to 20 years after the initial interview than did those with immature use of defense mechanisms. (BC)
