Answer:
The answer would be training in moral reasoning
Step-by-step explanation:
“Moral judgment” encompasses moral reasoning as well as prescriptive social decisions or values (Gibbs, 2003). Despite some of the adolescent population in the United States that exhibit aggressive behavior, people generally prefer to live in a world that is non-violent and caring (DiBiase, Gibbs, & Potter, 2005). Yet there is more to mature moral judgment and behavior than espousing moral values and positive preferences. We see daily examples of moral “speech” that does not match moral behavior. Politicians, sports figures, actors, actresses, etc. verbally expose moral and ethical speech but often are conflicted with their behavior. This contradiction has an influence on adolescents who are developing their own moral view of the world and their interactions with others. “Having” moral values in the mature sense means not only affirming them but also understanding the deeper reasons for their importance, and the use of values in daily decision making.
Despite their generally favorable evaluations of moral values, many at-risk students and delinquents around the world are developmentally delayed in their moral judgment (see Gibbs, Basinger, Grime, & Snarey, in press). We should be clear that egocentric bias is a part of adolescent development. However, in healthy development we see in later adolescence maturation on a more empathetic view of the world. Those individuals that experience developmental delay need assistance in clarification of values and the importance of empathy in the context of developing healthy and mature interpersonal relationships.
