| Abstract: | 40 3rd and 5th graders were administered the 1st 3 dilemmas of Kohlberg's Moral Judgment Scale. One group received the scale 2 wks after first administration, while another group received a multiple-choice variant of the scale. Data analyses revealed low test–retest reliability for scores attained on the 3 dilemmas together as well as individually. Scores on items within each dilemma were found to be low and generally nonsignificant. Ss who received the multiple choice variant of the scale scored at significantly higher moral levels than did those who received the typical verbal production version of the scale.
