{"product_id":"9781316288047","title":"Moral Development in a Global World: Research from a Cultural-Developmental Perspective","description":"Questions addressing people's moral lives, similarities and differences in the moral concepts of cultural groups, and how these concepts emerge in the course of development are of perennial interest. In a globalizing world, addressing what is universal and what is culturally distinctive about moral development is pressing. More than ever, well-substantiated knowledge of diverse peoples' moral compasses is needed. This book presents the cultural-developmental theory of moral psychology, findings from numerous countries, and four instruments for conducting cultural-developmental research. The central thesis is that humans are born with a shared moral heritage and that, as we develop from childhood into adulthood, we branch off in diverse directions shaped by culture - resulting in novelty and contention. An international group of eminent and cutting-edge scholars from anthropology, psychology, and linguistics addresses this timely topic and explores how gender, social class, and 'culture wars' between liberals and conservatives play into moral development across cultures.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47122142658800,"sku":"9781316288047","price":18.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316288047_p0.jpg?v=1763707854","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316288047","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
