Abstract

Explored the relationship between personality and moral development. Using Kohlberg's stages of moral development, it was conceived as possible that some of the characteristics measured by the California Psychological Inventory would be related significantly to preference for principled levels of moral judgment (stages 5 and 6 of Kohlberg's schema) for three groups of Catholic students (N = 549) in attendance at Catholic high schools and universities. The results indicated that those who preferred principled levaels of moral reasoning were seen as being dependable, rational, creative, intelligent, and accepting of rules and constraints of society, but at the same time, able to think independently and aware of the need for change.
