Produktbeschreibung
Moral reasoning has been defined as the expression of an individual's way of thinking regarding what makes a belief or judgement morally right or wrong. It is argued that one such moral issue, which elicits moral reasoning, is abortion. It is also argued that individuals may have varying judgements about abortion in different situations. That is, they may either believe that abortion is right or wrong depending on the circumstances or situation. Past research has investigated moral reasoning about abortion and the present research aimed to do the same through a partial replication. In particular, this research is examining the influence of age, gender, and context on judgements and justifications about abortion dilemmas.

Specifically, judgements and moral orientation (justice and care) were examined involving secondary college and university students. Participants responded to four different moral dilemmas about abortion.
