Cassidy, Kimberly Wright; Chu, June Y.; Dahlsgaard, Katherine K.
Early Education and Development, v8 n4 p419-34 Oct 1997
Examined the reasoning of 31 preschoolers when resolving moral dilemmas. Children's resolutions and justifications were examined with regard to their care orientation or justice orientation. Found that children's answers revealed a care orientation or a justice orientation with equal frequency. At times, children could even accept both orientations to the same dilemma. Also found no gender differences in moral orientation. (HTH)
