Question

Please provide the best answer for the best statement.

Answer 1

1. Contrary to Gilligan’s proposition, meta-analyses of research using Kohlberg’s cognitive-developmental approach do not show differences between males and females on their level of moral reasoning.
2. A meta-analysis of research using the two orientations approach showed only a small difference between males’ and females’ use of orientations. Although females tend to use the care orientation more frequently, the difference in frequency between the males is considered insignificant.
3. Females and males tend to emphasize somewhat different moral concerns. Further, girls are more likely than boys to report experiences that involve interpersonal relationships.
