Summary
The purpose of the study is to explore the range of children's beliefs and moral values and the consequences of both in their lives. Variables include adult with most influence, pressures faced as adolescents and young adults, sources of advice and emotional support, influence of religious leaders, influence of counselors, heroes and celebrities, motives for helping others, most important worry, opportunities in America, and judgements on issues such as abortion, homosexuality, cheating, lying, stealing, alcohol and sex. The sample was drawn from a list of 110,000 schools in the country maintained by Scholastic, Inc. Mr. Coles reported that the results showed a nation whose children are divided morally -- by virtue of their ongoing personal development their sex, their race, their social and eonomic background, and their underlying ethical assumptions which inform the moral life of American children.
