Description

Children are not simply molded by the environment; through constant inference and interpretation, they actively shape their own social world.

This book is about that process. Elliot Turiel's work focuses on the development of moral judgement in children and adolescents and, more generally, on their evolving understanding of the conventions of social systems.

His research suggests that social judgements are ordered, systematic, subtly discriminative, and related to behavior.

His theory of the ways in which children generate social knowledge through their social experiences will be of interest to a wide range of researchers and students in child development and education.
