The Influence of Moral Schemas on the Reconstruction of Moral Narratives in Eighth Graders and College Students.
Narvaez, Darcia
Journal of Educational Psychology, v90 n1 p13-24 Mar 1998
Eighth graders (n=138) and college students (n=49) read and recalled four complex moral narratives in which moral arguments at different Kohlbergian stages were embedded. Participants with higher reasoning scores on a test of moral judgment development reconstructed more high-stage moral arguments during recall. (SLD)
