Minimal moral development was predicted by friends' cognitive challenges to the target child's moral reasoning and by parents' interfering interactions.…

Mothers' child rearing and discipline, and toddlers' anxiety and compliance to mothers' demands, were measured.

Rural and city subjects ages 10 through 28 were individually interviewed on Kohlberg's moral dilemmas.

Differences between rural and urban subjects are discussed.…

Peer reviewedKochanska, Grazyna; And Others – Child Development, 1996
Explored children's conscience using narrative measures of responses to hypothetical moral dilemmas and objective measures. Found that children who experienced more power-assertive maternal discipline produced fewer themes of commitment to and concern about good behavior and were more poorly internalized on observed and mother-reported measures.…
