Download or read book Moral Development in the Professions written by James R. Rest and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1994-11-01 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year in this country, some 10,000 college and university courses are taught in applied ethics. And many professional organizations now have their own codes of ethics. Yet social science has had little impact upon applied ethics. This book promises to change that trend by illustrating how social science can make a contribution to applied ethics. The text reports psychological studies relevant to applied ethics for many professionals, including accountants, college students and teachers, counselors, dentists, doctors, journalists, nurses, school teachers, athletes, and veterinarians. Each chapter begins with the research base of the cognitive-developmental approach--especially linked to Kohlberg and Rest's Defining Issues Test. Finally, the book summarizes recent research on the following issues: * moral judgment scores within and between professions, * pre- and post-test evaluations of ethics education programs, * moral judgment and moral behavior, * models of professional ethics education, and * models for developing new assessment tools. Researchers in different professional fields investigate different questions, develop different research strategies, and report different findings. Typically researchers of one professional field are not aware of research in other fields. An important aim of the present book is to bring this diverse research together so that cross-fertilization can occur and ideas from one field can transfer to another.

Download or read book Moral Action in Young Adulthood written by Ralph L. Mosher and published by First-Year Experience and Students in Transition University of South Carolina. This book was released on 1999 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connection between knowing the right or good thing to do, and then actually doing it has long been a puzzle. "Watch what we do, not what we say" goes beyond the revealing admission of a former Attorney General of the United States to the broader reality of human behavior. Parents, teachers, employers, religious educators, and society at large have a deep vested interest in understanding the relationship between, and in knowing how better to educate for, consistency in moral knowledge and behavior. The past twenty-five years have seen much productive research on the development of moral reasoning. Doing the right or good act now needs comparable study. The unique contribution of this book is its exploratory study of the connection between moral thinking and action. Research on this linkage is in its relative infancy. A key aim is to begin to throw light on what factors intervene between a person's moral judgment and subsequent action. Valuable--although untested--theoretical models have been put forward concerning this interaction; they are used to guide the initial development of questions, but not to the exclusion of focusing on the unique insights provided by the young adults as to the "process" and "problems" of living one's "life-morality." This book begins with statements from the executive director (John N. Gardner) and the President of the University of South Carolina (John M. Palms), as well as a foreword by Ralph L. Mosher. Following the foreword, this book contains four sections comprised of fourteen chapters. Section 1: Origins and Results of the Original Sierra Project--(1) Nevitt Sanford on Community and Concern with Moral Values in Higher Education (Nevitt Sanford); (2) The Aims of the Sierra Curriculum: "On Leaping Tall Buildings In A Single Bound" (Ralph L. Mosher); and (3) Character Development Over Four Years of Undergraduate Study (John M. Whiteley and Norma Yokota). Section 2: Theoretical Underpinnings of the Sierrans Revisited Research--(4) Young Adulthood in the Life Cycle; (5) Doing the Right or Good Act: Theories of Moral Action; and (6) Further Theoretical Perspectives on Making Moral Choices. Section 3: Narrative Insights into Moral Action in Young Adulthood--(7) Moral Dilemmas from Young Adulthood; (8) Moral Dilemmas in Interpersonal Relationships; (9) Moral Dilemmas in the Workplace; and (10) Exemplary Sierrans: Moral Influences. Section 4: Research Conclusions and Future Directions for Promoting Moral Action--(11) Moral Dilemmas of Everyday Life: Voices of the Sierrans; (12) Exceptional Moral Behavior; (13) Strength of Character and Moral Agency; and (14) Toward Promoting Moral Action in Young Adulthood. The following are appended: (1) Moral Action Interview; (2) Moral Behavior Interview; and (3) The Moral Influence Interview. Content and author indexes are included.

Book excerpt: "This book poses the question being asked by many college administrators: how can we know if the education promised in our mission statement is actually taking place? Moreover, both constituents and accrediting agencies are also asking colleges to demonstrate how and wherein goals are accomplished. This volume in both practical and theological ways shows the current shape of this new area of scholarly concern. It also takes some initial steps in charting the course of future research on assessment."--Back cover.
