The Impact of Political Violence on Moral Reasoning in Children.

Eldebour, Salman; Baker, Ahmad M.; Charlesworth, William R.

Child Abuse & Neglect: The International Journal, v21 n11 p1053-66 Nov 1997

The moral reasoning of Israeli Jewish, Israeli Bedouin, and Palestinian school children (N=93) who had been exposed to varying degrees of political violence and socioeconomic advantage was evaluated. Mutual solutions to moral dilemmas were given more frequently by Israeli Jewish children than Israeli Bedouin or Palestinian children as questions shifted from abstract to real-life situations. (DB)
