A Social Learning Explanation of Moral Development

Brody, Gene H.

Contemporary Educational Psychology, 3, 1, 20-6, Jan 78

The author clarifies common misunderstanding about the theory that social learning is concerned with shaping of children's moral behavior through differential reinforcement, which portrays children as mere mimics of socialization agents. Social learning is defined in relation to the cognitive developmental approach to moral development and its educational implications are discussed. (CP)
