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.

This volume considers previously separate bodies of research on
social justice, social equality, and social development. Eminent
scholars from a variety of disciplines discuss the latest research
to help us understand the relation between social inequalities and
social development. In so doing, the book documents the powerful
ways that social inequalities frame development and explores the
conflicts that arise in the context of these inequalities. It
illustrates how people around the world make judgments about these
conditions and how they resist or change the practices they deem
unjust. By bringing together these perspectives, the editors hope
to demonstrate how understanding social development carries with it
the possibility of change and social justice. The book considers
processes of social development. It examines Piaget's ideas about
morality and relates them to children's thinking about social
rights. An interdisciplinary review of research from developmental,
social, and health psychology, social policy, anthropology, and
philosophy, follows this introduction. Each contributor examines
the historical, developmental, and social processes that influence
beliefs regarding social justice and equality and the consequences
of living in conditions of injustice. The book considers:
Inequalities in educational and health care opportunities. Unequal
rights and harassment and their effects on minorities. The
hardships and inequalities encountered by women. Intended for
researchers and advanced students in developmental, social,
cultural, and health psychology, policy, anthropology, and
philosophy interested in a world that is socially just.
