The Relation between the Ethics of Personal Conscience-Social Responsibility and Principled Moral Reasoning.

College students were tested on Hogan's Survey of Ethical Attitudes, Rest's Defining Issues Test, Collins' revision of Rotter's Internal-External Scale, and Snyder's Self-Monitoring Scale. Subjects who endorsed personal conscience showed greater maturity in moral reasoning. The subjects who advocated social responsibility tended to show more internal locus of control. (Author/CP)
