Critical Thinking Questions
Moral Development, Values, and Religion
Is level of moral reasoning related to identity status? For example, does an identity-achieved person reason at ahigher moral level than an identity-diffuse person? Apply your knowledge about the scientific method by designing a study that will answer a question about the relationship between level of moral reasoning and level of identity development:
- What specific problem or question do you want to study?
- What predictions would you make and test in your study?
- What measures would you use (i.e., controlled observation in a laboratory, naturalistic observation, interviews and questionnaires, case studies, standardized tests, cross-cultural studies, physiological research, research with animals, or multimeasure, multisource, and multicontext approach) and how would you define each measure clearly and unambiguously?
- What strategy would you follow-correlational or experimental, and what would be the time span of your inquiry-cross-sectional or longitudinal?
- What ethical considerations must be addressed before you conduct your study?
