The Structure of Moral Reasoning in Hearing-Impaired Students.

Sam, Andrea; Wright, Ian

American Annals of the Deaf, v133 n4 p264-69 Oct 1988

Modified dilemmas from the Kohlberg Moral Judgment Instrument were administered to 15 hearing-impaired students, aged 12-15. Analyses indicated that subjects reasoned at Stages 1-2, whereas Kohlberg's norms indicate that hearing peers reason at Stages 2-4. A positive correlation was found between subjects' average scores for moral reasoning and reading comprehension. (Author/JDD)
