| Abstract |
"Drawing from a wide range of independent research programs, Nurturing Morality makes clear that most forms of human interaction are laden with moral content. It highlights thorny and complex moral questions that cannot be resolved by simple adherence to moral rules. And on the basis of empirically grounded findings, contributors to this volume provide recommendations for how adults can offer valuable guidance to young people learning to negotiate life in a global society." "For clinicians, researchers, and students, Nurturing Morality provides much-needed insight and advice on young people's moral development."--Jacket. |
