The Development of Reasoning about the Teaching of Values in School and Family Contexts.
Prencipe, Angela; Helwig, Charles C.
Child Development, v73 n3 p841-56 May-Jun 2002
Investigated development of reasoning about the teaching of values in school and family contexts among 8-, 10-, and 13-year olds and college students. Found that children and young adults' reasoning is multifaceted and distinguishes between moral values that reflect justice, rights, and moral character traits and other forms of desirable personality traits and social values. Their evaluations became better differentiated and coordinated with age. (JPB)
