Perez-Delgado, E.; Oliver, J. C.

Journal of Moral Education, v24 n1 p65-72 1995

Reports on a study of the influence of age and formal education on the development of moral reasoning among 215 Spanish citizens ranging in age from 12 to 48. Finds that moral development is highly related to both variables, although more so with formal education than with age. Includes five tables of illustrative data. (CFR)
