The Handbook of Moral Development is the definitive source of
theory and research on the origins and development of morality in
childhood and adolescence. It explores morality as fundamental to
being human and enabling individuals to acquire social norms and
develop social relationships that involve cooperation and mutual
respect. Since the publication of the second edition,
groundbreaking approaches to studying moral development have
invigorated debates about how to conceptualize and measure morality
in childhood and adolescence. The contributors of this new edition
grapple with these questions from different theoretical
perspectives and review cutting-edge research. The handbook, edited
by Melanie Killen and Judith G. Smetana, includes chapters on
parenting and socialization, values, emergence of prejudice and
social exclusion, fairness and access to resources, moral reasoning
and children's rights, empathy, and prosocial behaviors. Morality
is discussed in the context of families, peers, schools, and
culture. Thoroughly updated and expanded, the third edition
features new chapters on the following: Morality in infancy and
early childhood Cognitive neuroscience perspectives on moral
development Social responsibility in the context of social and
racial justice Conceptions of economic and societal inequalities
Stereotypes, bias, and discrimination Victimization and bullying in
peer contexts Reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the study
of moral development, this edition contains contributions from
sixty scholars in developmental science, social neuroscience,
comparative and evolutionary psychology, and education,
representing research conducted around the world. This book will be
essential reading for scholars, educators, and students who are in
the field of moral development, as well as social scientists,
public health experts, and clinicians who are concerned with
children and development.
