Moral Reasoning: Does the College Experience Make a Difference?

College Student Affairs Journal, v21 n2 p3-8 Spr 2002

This study investigates the differences between levels of moral reasoning for traditional and nontraditional students. Results indicated that both groups of students enter college at similar levels. Implications of these findings would suggest that the college experience, not age is the most influential factor in the development of moral reasoning. (Contains 15 references.) (Author)
