Moral Orientations of Schoolchildren in the United States and Japan.
Ban, Tsunenobu; Cummings, William K.
Comparative Education Review, v43 n1 p64-85 Feb 1999

Unexpectedly, determinants of moral behavior in the two societies were essentially the same, with school providing the primary influence on behavior. (SV)
