| Abstract: | The moral reasoning of 14- and 17-year-old Finnish adolescents (n = 1,230) who grew up in Finland and experienced Western individualistic educational practices was compared with that of adolescents (n = 428) of the same age who grew up in Estonia during the period of Soviet socialism with collectivist educational practices. The same factors of moral reasoning were found in both samples: legitimization, relativism, absoluteness, and universality of high moral standards. The results showed that the moral reasoning of Finnish participants had a higher internal consistency, whereas two levels were likely to exist in Estonia. The finding is further discussed on. |
