Abstract
This study examined the ways in which exposure to moral reasoning statements affected the subsequent behavioral choices of 144 seventh-, eighth-, and ninth-grade boys at different stages of moral judgment. The subjects were divided among 4 experimental conditions, each of which attempted to isolate and relate behavioral choice and reasoning in specific ways. The presentation of reasoning had different effects on the behavioral choices of subjects at 2 different stages. The findings were considered in terms of their implications for developmental change as well as for a developmental analysis of the relationship between moral reasoning and moral behavior.
