The 120 participants of this study were 5- and 9-year-old children and their mothers. Children responded to 24 prosocial moral reasoning dilemmas and 8 prosocial decision-making tasks. Mothers' prosocial moral reasoning was assessed with questionnaires. Level of moral reasoning was higher in distant than in close relationships. 5-year-olds in preoperational stage used the complex situational cues in their reasoning, and prosocial moral reasoning of 9-year-olds was positively related to mothers' prosocial moral reasoning in the situation with conditions of distant relationship, low costs, and internal responsibility. Children made more helping decisions in close than in distant relationship situations, low rather than high cost situations, and external rather than internal responsibility situations. 5-year-olds whose mothers were high in level of prosocial moral reasoning were more helpful.

The purpose of this study was to investigate North Korean child defectors and South Korean children's pro-social moral reasoning, pro-social decision-making, moral reasoning and moral judgement on violence. The participants were 82 North Korean child defectors and 186 South Korean children in Seoul and Kyunggi Province. All respondents answered self-report questionnaires including 6 stories of pro-social moral conflicts and 4 stories of moral conflicts on violence. Data were analyzed by independent sample t-test, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test, repeated measure ANOVA and one-way ANOVA. The major findings were as follows. First, North Korean child defectors showed a bigger difference between the level of pro-social moral reasoning in close relationship situations and that in distant relationship situations than South Korean children did. In the 11-13 year old group, North Korean child defectors showed lower level of pro-social moral reasoning than that of South Korean children. Second, children showed more helping responses in close relationship situations than in distant relationship situations. The 11-13 year old group Children also showed more helping responses than the 14-16 year old group did. Third, 11-13 year old South Korean children showed a higher level of moral reasoning on violence than the North Korean child defectors did. Finally, North Korean child defectors judged violence with a justifiable intention as being more wrong than South Korean children did.

A major concern in the area of moral education is to find an effective educational method capable of supporting maturity of moral reasoning in young children. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effects of distributive dilemma discussion on children's distributive justice reasoning. The subjects were fifty 5-year-olds selected from a kindergarten in the city of Kumi. 26 children participated in a 10 week discussion intervention; another 24 children constituted the control group. The experimental procedure consisted of 3 parts; a pre-test to determine the experimental and control groups, moral discussions on dilemma situations based on 10 stories for the experimental group, and a post-test for both groups. The moral discussions were audio-taped. The results showed that children in the experimental group used more varied and elaborate distributive justice reasoning as the discussions proceeded. Moral discussions facilitated distributive justice reasoning.

This study investigated moral judgment and moral reasoning about aggressive behavior by intention, presentation of results of aggressive behavior, and age of child. Forty-four 3-year old and forty-six 5-year-old day-care children in Seoul and Kyonggi Province were interviewed individually with 20 pictorial tasks. Data analysis was by frequencies, percentiles, means, standard deviations, paired t-test, and ANOVA(repeated measures). Both age groups judged instrumental and resentment-based types of aggression to be worse than prosocial or rule observance-based aggression. Both age groups judged aggressive behavior to be worse when results of aggression were presented. Five-year-olds judged aggression to be worse on instrumental than on retributive types of intent. Level of reasoning on aggressive behavior was lowest in cases of satisfying resentment Level of reasoning about aggression increased with age.

The purposes of this study were (1) to investigate children's moral judgment, justification reasoning in terms of aggressive behavior, and (2) it examined the relationship to false belief understanding. Children aged between 3 to 5 years(N = 120) participated in this study. Each child was interviewed individually and responded questions designed to measure his/her moral judgment and justification reasoning and false belief understanding. The 12 pictorial tasks consisted of selfish and altruistic intentions and three different types of acts (physical, verbal, relational) as responses to aggressive behavior. The results indicated that the kind of moral judgment used was different according to the intention and the types of acts. There were significant differences in children's justification reasoning according to the age and the types of acts. There was a positive relationship between false belief understanding and moral judgment, justification reasoning. This paper also provided a detailed discussion of the results and recommendations in the context of more general cognitive developmental changes.

본 연구는 탈 콜버그주의 논쟁이 도덕적 정체성 이론에 미친 영향을 분석하여 도덕적 추론을 통합한 도덕적 정체성 이론의 의의와 한계를 밝히고, 간 학문적 연구들에 기반 한 도덕 심리학적 연구 수행과 이에 근거한 도덕교육의 필요성을 규명하고자 하였다. 2008년 Journal of moral education 특집호에 실린 탈 콜버그주의 논문에 대해 튜리엘과 깁스는 문화상대주의를 극복하고 도덕 판단의 규범성을 확립하기 위해서 도덕의 작용에서 도덕적 추론은 반드시 요청된다고 주장하였다. 이러한 비판은 도덕적 정체성 이론의 전개에 상당한 영향을 주었다. 도덕적 정체성이론은 인지발달이론의 도덕적 동기화 문제를 해결하는 대안 패러다임으로 탈 콜버그주의 특징을 보였다. 하지만 특집호 이후에 블라시는 관습이후 수준의 도덕추론 능력을, 탈 콜버그주의를 주도하던 나바에즈는 직관과 추론의 동등모델에 근거한 도덕 전문가를 성숙한 도덕인의 특징으로서 설명하였다. 본 연구는 도덕적 추론을 통합한 도덕적 정체성 모델의 의의와 한계를 분석하여 도덕철학과 도덕 심리학의 관계에 대해 후행적으로 상보적일 수 있음을 인정하였다. 이는 도덕의 작용에 대한 뇌 과학, 생물학, 문화 인류학 등 간 학문적 연구의 가능성을 인정하지만 도덕 심리학의 규범성을 확보하기 위해서는 도덕철학적 분석과 이론화가 필요하다는 입장이다. 도덕의 작용은 합리적 의식적 추론과정은 물론 자동적 무의식적 암묵적 과정에 근거한다. 도덕적 추론만큼이나 직관도 도덕의 작용에서 중요하기 때문에 간 학문적 연구가 필요하며 도덕교육의 연구에 학제적 연구결과를 적극적으로 활용해야 한다.

Objective: The literature on participant roles in bullying lacks empirical evidence to explicate what differentiates latent participation. The purpose of the present study was to examine social cognition in early adolescents (i.e., empathy, prosocial moral reasoning, and perceived group norm) with latent participants of bullying. Methods: The participants included 279 adolescents (129 girls; M age = 13.5 years) in two middle schools. Results: The result showed that empathy, prosocial moral reasoning, and perceived group norm were possible determinants of latent bullying. First, high levels of empathy (especially empathic concern and perspective taking) was associated with latent defenders. Second, helping decision of prosocial moral dilemma and prosocial moral reasoning were associated with complex situational cues. Third, latent reinforcer positively indentified the group norm with regard to bullying. Conclusion: The results are discussed in terms of practical implications for anti-bullying programs and educational practitioners.

Purpose: This study aims to explore how consumers respond to the immoral actions of a CEO. More specifically, this research focuses on the moral reasoning processes used by consumers in order to maintain support for the CEO despite the immoral action. In addition, this research suggests that support for the CEO would improve product purchase intention. Research design, data, and methodology: To test the hypotheses presented, an online research company was hired and online survey was conducted with adult participants. Online research company sent an email to the potential subjects asking their participation in an online survey. Subjects were able to participate in the online survey by clicking a link to the survey. When the participants clicked the link, they were instructed to read a fictitious newspaper article on a CEO's immoral action. And then, they were asked to answer several questions online. Responses were obtained from 336 adults participants and data were analyzed using SPSS Hayes Macro for a moderation effect and AMOS for a structural equation model. Result: Moral reasoning processes were divided into moral decoupling and moral rationalization and analyzed to determine their influence on product purchase. Also in this study, we suggest the public self-consciousness of consumers as an antecedent of moral reasoning processes, and argue that consumers with high public self-consciousness are more likely to engage in moral decoupling than moral rationalization. Conclusions: Our results showed that moral decoupling and moral rationalization improved the consumer's perception of corporate ethicality, which increased product purchase intention. In addition, consumers with high public self-consciousness were more likely to engage in moral decoupling than in moral rationalization. In addition, this research suggested that severity of the scandal would moderate the impact of public self-consciousness on moral decoupling. However, this hypothesis was not supported statistically since most participants perceived the scandal to be a highly severe incident, that may lead to an insignificant interaction effect between severity of the scandal and public self-consciousness. This research expands the scope of available research on corporate ethics and consumer responses to negative information involving celebrities and provides practical implications for corporate crisis management.

반이론주장의 조직불가능성명제는 윤리적 이론화의 불가능성에 대한 대표적인 근거이다. 특수주의가 강하게 반영된 이 명제를 통해 반이론가들은 구체적인 도덕적 상황에서 개개 행위자들이 내리는 결정들은 도덕원칙으로 조직화될 수 없기 때문에 윤리적 이론화는 불가능하다고 주장한다. 조직불가능성명제의 적절성은 이론적 차원에서 조직화의 대상이 도덕적 실제인지 아닌지의 쟁점을 통해, 그리고 실천적 차원에서 도덕원칙으로부터 도덕적 추론이 연역되는지 아닌지의 쟁점을 통해 검토될 수 있다. 먼저 실천적 숙고의 성격은 도덕적 실제 그 자체가 아니라 도덕적 실제를 넘어서는 도덕성이 조직화의 대상이라는 도덕이론가들의 주장을 뒷받침해준다. 또한 반이론가들의 비판과 달리 도덕이론가들은 도덕적 추론을 위해서 도덕원칙이외에도 상황적 지식과 행위자의 지혜에 근거한 도덕판단이 필요하다고 본다. 도덕이론가들은 다양한 도덕적 실제를 반영하는 행위자의 판단이 도덕성을 제시하는 도덕원칙을 통해 검토되고 이에 근거하여 도덕적 지위를 갖게 되는 형태의 윤리학을 추구한다. 결국 도덕이론가들은 복잡하고 다양한 도덕적 실제를 도덕원칙으로 조직화하거나 도덕원칙만으로 도덕적 추론이 가능하다고 주장하지 않기 때문에 조직불가능성명제를 통해 윤리적 이론화가 불가능하다는 것을 주장하려는 반이론가들의 시도는 성공적이지 못하게 된다.

The purposes of this study were to investigate children's prosocial behavior by age and sex and to examine the relationship between children's prosocial moral reasoning and prosocial behavior by costs and types of tasks. The subjects were 300 3th-and 6th-graders enrolled in elementary schools in Seoul. The revised form of Prosocial Moral Dilemmas including costs and types of tasks was used. The tasks of prosocial behaviors included time-cost tasks, money-cost tasks and physical strength-cost tasks. For data analysis, the paired t-test, two-way ANOVA, and Pearson's Correlations were used. Major findings were as follows; (1)There was age difference in children's prosocial behavior. 6th-graders performed at a higher level than 3th-graders. Sex differences weren't significant. In low- and high-cost tasks and in time-, money-, and physical strength-cost tasks, there were (2) Scores on high-cost behavior tasks were higher than on low-cost tasks. (3) Children's prosocial moral reasoning was positively related to prosocial behavior; in low- and high-cost tasks, and in time-, money-, and physical strength-cost tasks.
