Description
The only single source of information on recent research into the contributions of social interaction to moral development, this book brings together a representative set of writings by prominent scholars and researchers. Chapters are organized into five sections: development process perspectives, developmental-constructivist perspectives, social constructivist perspectives, interpretive-hermeneutic perspectives and social process perspectives. Topics covered include social influence and moral change; school democracy and social interaction; the distinctive features of conversations between friends: theories, research and implications for socio-moral development; social processes in delinquency; and the need to facilitate empathy as well as socio-moral reasoning.
