Moraliaty and Moral Issues
Developmental psychologists have
studied children’s moral behavior in a number of different situations. They
have discovered that morality is often situationally based, as in a study of
thousands of children where the totally honest child was virtually nonexistent,
as were children who cheated in every situation possible. As adults we exhibit
the same patterns of morality, defining the acceptability of our behavior by
the circumstances surrounding it.
