Determinants of Moral Reasoning: Sex Role Orientation, Gender, and Academic Factors
研究考察性别角色取向、性别和学术因素与道德推理水平的关系，发现性别角色取向无关，女性道德推理水平高于男性，教育水平与道德推理正相关，商学院学生道德推理水平较低但未达统计显著。
Mixed results regarding the role of gender in moral reasoning prompted an investigation of an alternative characteristic that may be more influential in the process: sex role orientation. We present an empirical assessment of the relationship between an individual’s moral reasoning level and his/her sex role orientation, gender, and several academic factors. Our results indicate that sex role orientation is not related to moral reasoning level. Gender is related to moral reasoning in our study, women reasoning at higher levels than men. We found a positive relationship between education and moral reasoning level, and moral reasoning levels differed across academic institutions. Our results also show business students have lower moral reasoning levels than students in other fields, although this result did not reach statistical significance.
