Book Description
This volume contains four chapters of research and two chapters of commentary. The former report research on moral development in specific cultural contexts. The cultural contexts and aspects of moral development studied include situations of conflict between women and men among the Druze and secular Jewish communities in Israel; judgments of environmental values and duties by Brazilian children in a large city and a small village along the Amazon and inner-city children in Houston; differentiations between personal, conventional, and moral rights and duties by children in different areas and social classes in Brazil; and susceptibility to interviewer influence during moral judgment interviews with children in Northeastern Brazil and
New York City. In general, the authors argue for the universal applicability of categories of social and moral thought and the need to recognize major differences within cultures depAnding on region, gAnder, and social class and relations. These efforts are then critiqued in the commentaries from two points of view: domain theory and cultural psychology. This is the 76th issue of the quarterly journal New Directions for Child Development.
