Moral Development by Carol Gilligan and Lawrence Kohlberg
Gilligan
Kohlberg
Carol Gilligan noticed that the vast majority of Kohlberg's subjects were male – almost exclusively. This lead her to conduct experiments on a female population and compare her results with his. The only distinct criticism she introduced was the prominent issue of sex – as aforementioned, his studies consisted of an exclusively male population.
In form fashion she conducted the same studies on a female audience.
The End!
Fin.
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development is a continuation of research that Piaget started. Kohlberg’s inspiration motivated him to further embellish upon Piaget’s work by going past the early ages in childhood that Piaget has focused on. Kohlberg felt that moral maturation and development was much more gradual than Piaget reserved. Similar to Piaget, Kohlberg believed that changes were due to connate cognitive ability rather than external alteration. Kohlberg’s study consisted of him interviewing children and adolescents with a hypothetical dilemma. He then asked the participants to describe what the protagonist should do. These interviews would later allow him to formulate his theory of moral development.
Introduction
Conclusions
Kohlberg concluded that men develop a morality based upon callous conviction of justice throughout their lives, with a heavily distinctualized affinity for capital and harsh punishments, while Gilligan discovered that in this place, women characteristically foster notions and aspects of care and tenderness over the course of their lives.
The moral development of the populations contributes to an organized society. It is important for everyone to develop morals in order for them to have a better grasp of themselves. This presentation will discuss two theories on moral development: Lawrence Kohlberg and Carol Gilligan; both theorists explain the development of morals throughout life. Kohlberg’s research consists of male participants, while Gilligan’s response to this is specifically focusing on the moral development of women.
