Neste estudo examinámos a debatida questão da
consistência entre juízo moral e conduta moral, por
um lado, e as possíveis relações entre consistência
moral e ansiedade, por outro. 28 estudantes universitários,
com idades compreendidas entre os 17-30 anos,
foram avaliados no seu nível de desenvolvimento moral,
numa medida de resistência A tentação e no seu
grau de ansiedade, entendida quer em termos de
traço, quer em termos de estado. De modo global,
os resultados são consistentes com a hipótese da
relação entre juizo moral e aqão moral, por um lado,
e parecem indicar que tal relação é mediada pela
ansiedade estado, mas não traço, por outro. Contudo,
o tamanho da amostra bem como o facto de alguns
sujeitos se terem comportado de modo surpreendente, na situação de resistência a tentação, sugerem que:
tais resultados devem ser interpretados cautelosamente
e olhados como muito exploratórios. ------ ABSTRACT ------- One of the major criticisms of Piaget’s andl
Kohlberg’s theories of development is that they
overemphasize cognition at the expense of behavior
and feelings. The purpose of this project is tci
investigate the relationships between moral judgmeni:
and moral behavior, as possibly mediated by anxiety.
liventy-eight college students of both sexes werc:
piaced into a temptation situation in which they couldi
faisify exam scores. The instruments used were Gibba
et al. (1984) ((Sociomoral Reflection Objective:
Measuren and Spielberger’s (&ate-Trait Anxiety
Inventory)), both in their Brazilian/Portuguese:
language versions. The results revealed that four
students changed their scores upwards, while three
of them changed them downwards. The moral judgement
leve1 of those who changed their scores upwards
was lower (but not significantly so) than that of the
ahonest subjects)). Surprisingly, the lowest moral
judgement scores were those of the subjects who
decreased their scores. These subjects were ais0 higher
on state-anxiety than the other groups. A11 comparisons
were made by non-parametric Kruskai-Wallis
Anovas.
The data were discussed in terms of the complexity
of the interrelationships among the variables studied,
and the possible interference of intelligence, attention,
and carelessness among those who decreased their
scores. Severa1 other studies are under way for this
project, including a study of criminal prisoners,
whose moral judgment scores are significantly lower
than those of college students. Another investigation
looks at the relationships between altruism, social
activism, and moral judgment.
