High Achieving Students and Moral Judgment.
Narvaez, Darcia
Journal for the Education of the Gifted, v16 n3 p268-79 Spr 1993
Analysis of scholastic test information and scores on the Defining Issues Test (DIT) of moral judgment for 122 eighth graders found a wide variation in DIT scores among high cognitive ability subjects, but no high scores among low ability subjects, suggesting that high cognitive ability is necessary but not sufficient for high moral judgment.
