Do advanced moral reasoners also show wisdom?

The Strength-Based Counseling Model (2006, background): “For instance, some researchers have viewed the functionality of wisdom as the balancing of one’s own well-being and the well-being of others (Baltes & Staudinger, 2000; Sternberg, 1998).”

The wisdom of experience: Autobiographical narratives across adulthood (2005, background): “Studies show steep growth in wisdom-related knowledge between 15 and 25 years (Pasupathi, Staudinger, & Baltes, 2001), but no age gradient across adulthood is found (i.e., stability from ages 20 to 89 years; Baltes & Staudinger, 2000; Staudinger, 1999).”
