Abstract

Abstract The study focused on investigating how Nigerian adolescents respond to Bronfenbrenner's and Kohlberg's moral dilemmas. Ninety Hausa Muslim adolescents (60 boys and 30 girls), studying in a day and two boarding secondary schools in Kano City took part in the inquiry. It was found that the subjects tended to resolve Bronfenbrenner's dilemmas in an adult‐approved direction. The results also showed that day school pupils’ moral reasoning was more advanced than that of boarding school pupils, and subjects’ socio‐economic background and sex did not relate to the ways they resolved the moral dilemmas.
