A Comparison of Moral Reasoning of Groups and Individuals on the “Defining Issues Test”
研究比较了互动群体与个体成员在定义问题测验中的道德推理水平，发现群体推理水平显著高于个体平均水平，但结果存在局限性，需进一步研究。
The article presents a study which compared the moral reasoning of interacting groups and the reasoning of individual members of the group using the defining issues test (DIT) of moral judgement development. The results showed that interacting groups reason at a significantly higher level, as measured by the DIT, than the average of the members of the groups. Although the results are interesting and perhaps promising, at this stage they are subject to limitations. Thus, additional research on the issue seems justified.
