Abstract
|
In studying the moral orientations of subnormal adolescent girls by the Piaget technique, it was found that the types of moral judgment of subjects equated for CA and MA are markedly influenced by the constraint area in which the girls are placed. Institutionalized subnormal girls are more likely to be moral realists than those living in the community. Judgments of moral realism are more prevalent among subnormal girls who have been institutionalized a longer time and who are obedient. Among the institutionalized, MA level makes only a slight difference. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
