Ethics
The system of rules that governs the ordering of values. Addresses such questions as:– What are the meanings of the ethical concepts of
good and right?– How can a person reach a conclusion about an
ethical dilemma?– Do ethical dilemmas have answers that would be
universally accepted as right, proper, and appropriate?
![Page 21: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Ethics
Universalism – States that individuals should uphold certain values, like honesty, regardless of the results. The important values are the ones society needs to function. (Rule based or deontological, an inherent ‘right’ apart from any consequences.)
Utilitarianism – States that the greatest good for society should be the overriding concern of decision makers. (Consequential, or teleological) emphasizes the results of behavior.)
![Page 22: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Ethics
Justice Theories – State moral standards are based upon the primacy of a single value, which is justice. Everyone should act to ensure a more equitable distribution of benefits, for this promotes self-respect, essential for social cooperation.

Moral Reasoning
The thinking processes involved in judgments about questions of right and wrong.
Kohlberg’s work (’63, ’75, ’81):– Divided moral development into three levels
![Page 24: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Moral Reasoning
Pre-conventional– Judgment based solely on a person’s own needs and
perceptions
Conventional– Expectations of society and law are taken into account
Post-Conventional– Judgment based on abstract, personal principles not
necessarily defined by society’s laws.
![Page 25: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Kohlberg’s Moral Dilemmas
Hypothetical situations in which no choice is clearly and indisputably right.
![Page 26: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Heinz Dilemma
A man’s wife is dying. There is one drug that could save her life, but it is very expensive, and the druggist who invented it will not sell it at a price low enough for the man to buy it. Finally, the man becomes desperate and considers stealing the drug for his wife. What should he do and why?
![Page 27: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Kohlberg’s Work
Stage 1 (Pre conventional)– Punishment-obedience orientation
• Fear of authority and avoidance of punishment are reasons for behaving morally.
Stage 2 (Pre conventional)– Personal reward orientation
• Satisfying personal needs determines moral choice.
![Page 28: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Kohlberg’s Work
Stage 3 (Conventional)– Good boy-nice girl orientation
• Maintaining the affection and approval of friends and relatives motivates good behavior
Stage 4 (Conventional)– Law and order/authority orientation
• A duty to uphold rules and laws for their own sake justifies moral conformity
![Page 29: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Kohlberg’s Work
Stage 5 (Post conventional)– Social contract orientation
• We obey rules because they are necessary for social order, but rules can be changed if there were better alternatives
Stage 6 (Post conventional)– Morality of individual principles and conscience
• Behavior which conforms to internal principles (justice and equality) and may sometimes violate society’s rules.

Carol Gilligan
“In a Different Voice”
1977, 1981
![Page 31: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Moral reasoning is delimited by “...two moral perspectives that
organize thinking in different ways.”
Men: define morality in terms of justice.
Women: less in terms of rights and more in terms of standards of responsibility and care.
![Page 32: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Gilligan’s Perspective:
Males = typically a justice/rights orientationFemales = care response orientationOrientations arise form rational experiences of inequality and attachment
Girls attached to and identify with mothersBoys attached to mothers and identify with fathers
![Page 33: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Believes that:
That response orientation is of a higher order than justice rights orientationBecause Kohlberg’s theory is hierarchical with justice/rights the basis--women would necessarily show a less reasoned perspective on his scales. First studies of Kohlberg only conducted with men
![Page 34: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The two perspectives are not opposite ends of a continuum,
“...with justice uncaring and caring unjust...”, but rather, “...a different
method of organizing the basic elements of moral judgment: self,
others, and the relationship between them.”
(Gilligan, 1987, p.22)
![Page 35: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
“One moral perspective dominates psychological thinking and is
embedded in the most widely used measures for measuring maturity of
moral reasoning.”C. Gilligan, 1987, p.22
![Page 36: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Gilligan’s Theory
Based on two observational studies.
Study One: 25 college students
Study Two: 29 women considering abortion
![Page 37: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Gilligan’s Research:
“shift[s] the focus of attention from ways people reason about hypothetical dilemmas to ways people construct moral conflicts and choice in their lives...and [makes] it possible to see what experiences people define in moral terms, and to explore the relationship between the understanding of moral problems and the reasoning strategies used and the actions taken in attempting to solve them.” Gilligan, 1987, p.21
![Page 38: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Alternative Stage Sequence:
Three levels with transitional phases between each:
Level One:Level One: Complete concern for self (Individual Survival).
Transitional Phase: From self to care and concern for others.
![Page 39: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Level Two
Level Two: Primary interest in the care of others (to gain their acceptance) (Self sacrifice and Social conformity).
Transitional Phase: awareness of self relative to developing relationships with others: responsibility toward their care and needs.
![Page 40: Chapter 4 Attitudes, Values, & Ethics. Attitude Attitude - a psychological tendency expressed by evaluating an entity with some degree of favor or disfavor.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062300/56649d8b5503460f94a719a1/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Level Three
Level Three: Nonviolence and universal caring.
“articulates an ethic of responsibility that focuses on the actual consequences of choice,,,the criterion of adequacy or moral principles changes from objective truth to ‘best fit’, and can only be established within the context of the dilemma itself.”
Murphy and Gilligan, 1980, p.83

Rosenthal Effect:
Researcher’s biases tend to sway the results to be what the researcher wants to find

“Rather than arguing over the extent to which sex bias is inherent in Kohlberg’s theory of moral development, it might be more appropriate to ask why the myth that males are more advanced in moral reasoning than females persists in light of such little evidence.”
Walker, 1984, p.688
