- Abstract
-
We assessed the stage structure of moral judgment, as defined by the Defining Issues Test, following the procedures used by Davison, Robbins, and Swanson (1978). Participants from 3 different age groups (N = 234; n = 78 respondents per group) were recruited. The adult age group (aged 20+ years) in this study was more representative than the adult age group used in the Davison et al. study and our findings did not replicate their results. In sum, we found no clear evidence of specific stage ordering.
