New Perspectives on Moral Development, Paperback / softback Book

New Perspectives on Moral Development Paperback / softback

Edited by Charles C. Helwig

Part of the Current Issues in Developmental Psychology series

Paperback / softback

Description

This volume presents a selection of some of the most exciting new perspectives on moral development that have emerged over the last decade and have transformed our understanding of the field.

The contributors to this book cut across traditional boundaries to provide an innovative and integrative approach to fundamental questions dealing with the nature and acquisition of morality.

In addressing these questions, the chapters draw on new work on the origins of morality in infancy and the early years, comparative approaches examining morality in primates, new perspectives on moral emotions such as guilt and empathy, and new perspectives on the emerging moral self in childhood and moral identity in adolescence.

The book also examines the roles of parenting and culture in children's and adolescents' moral development.

Each chapter is framed in theory and methodology and provides illustrative examples of new research to address important questions in the field. This book is essential reading for researchers and advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students studying moral development and developmental psychology.

It will also be of interest to academics and professionals in related fields such as education and public policy.
