! _______________________________ (Theory of Mind)
3. “Violent tendencies in children grow as a result of observing othersʼ violent behavior personally or through the media
or environment.”
________________________________ (Albert Bandura)
4. “This theorist put too much emphasis on thought as opposed to actual behavior. He does not cite the influence of the
parentsʼ role in moral development, and progression through his stages is not always exactly as he predicts.”
________________________________ (Critics of Kohlberg)
5. “This theorist is mistaken in the idea that the domains of morality, social convention and personal autonomy are
separate from and develop parallel to each other. They must be interrelated!”
________________________________ (Critics of Turiel)
6. “My theory has 3 levels --Preconventional, Conventional, and Postconventional-- that are made up of 6 stages.”
________________________________ (Lawrence Kohlberg)
7. “The growth of a sense of self is the key to greater moral awareness.”
________________________________ (Carol Gilligan)
8. “Some young children are not as egocentric as this theorist believed them to be.”
________________________________ (Critics of Piaget)
9. “Though moral, social and psychological are distinct developmental areas, they are often connected. It is the childʼs
! ! attempts to understand how they relate to one another that allow moral development to take place.”
________________________________ (Elliot Turiel)
10. “This theoristʼs ideas donʼt take into account that studies have shown that both men and women use both justice and
! ! care dimensions in their moral reasoning.”
________________________________ (Critics of Carol Gilligan)
11. “Social learning theory doesnʼt take into account an individualʼs genetic and cognitive predispositions. There have
been conflicting findings regarding whether or not television and video game violence causes children to act violently.”
