Resolutions of Moral Dilemmas by Nigerian Secondary School Pupils.

Maqsud, Muhammad

Journal of Moral Education, v9 n1 p36-44 Oct 1979

This study investigated the responses to Bronfenbrenner's and Kohlberg's moral dilemmas of 90 Hausa Muslim day and boarding students. Subjects tended to resolve Bronfenbrenner's dilemmas in an adult-approved direction. Day students showed more advanced moral reasoning than boarding students, but sex and socioeconomic differences were not apparent. (Author/SJL)
