What levels of moral reasoning and values explain adherence to information security rules? An empirical study (2009, background): “At the postconventional level, individuals understand the purpose of the rules and norms, but can adopt a critical viewpoint of them (Kohlberg, 1984; Narvaez & Bock, 2002).”
Engineering Ethical Curricula: Assessment and Comparison of Two Approaches (2005, background): “First, the creators of the DIT now conceive of moral development in terms of shifting distributions of schemas rather than a stepwise progression through self-contained stages [14].”
Triune ethics: The neurobiological roots of our multiple moralities (2008, background): “The author would like to thank five anonymous reviewers, Ross Thompson, John Gibbs, Dan Lapsley, Jaak Panksepp, and Alan Sroufe for their helpful comments on earlier versions of this manuscript.”
Motivation and Justification: A Dual‐Process Model of Culture in Action1 (2009, background): “…to sociology, moral psychological research comparing the Moral Judgment Interview, an open-ended instrument, and the Defining Issues Test, a fixed-response survey, suggests that the fixed-response format yields better estimates of people’s actual moral decision processes (Narvaez and Bock 2002).”
Beginning teacher disposition: Examining the moral/ethical domain (2007, background): “Decisions are based primarily in the personal stake of the decision-maker, stressing notions such as survival and ‘‘getting ahead’’ (Narvaez & Bock, 2002).”
Moral Development in Business Ethics: An Examination and Critique (2019, background): “The DIT is a means of activating moral schemas (general knowledge structures that organize information) (Narvaez and Bock 2002).”
Moral reasoning, intercultural development, and multicultural experiences: relations and cognitive underpinnings (2003, background): “Moral reasoning development typically occurs with increases in age and education, although there is evidence that to reach the highest levels, one must undertake deliberative study (Narvaez & Bock, 2002).”
Empathy, perspective taking and personal values as predictors of moral schemas (2010, background): “The DIT is claimed to be especially suitable for measuring this type of moral knowledge as it requires no verbal justification of the choices (Narvaez & Bock, 2002).”
