Abstract
Mom, D. JOHN. Egocentrism and the Emergence of Conventional Morality in Preadolescent Girls. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1974, 45, 299-304. Moral development may be characterized, in part, as a gradual evolution of role-taking abilities. In this study, scores of 11-year-old girls on Kohlberg's Moral Judgment Interview were correlated with scores on nonmoral-role-taking tests devised by Flavell, Selman, and Rothenberg. The results showed that a significant proportion of the variance in moral maturity scores could be accounted for by measures of nonmoral role taking. The results of this study, and further problems posed, are discussed in the context of the Piagetian concept of structure d'ensemble.
