Abstract

The analysis of the link with social behaviour and in particular, Delinquency, has been one of the major goals of moral judgement research (see Rest, 1979; Blasi, 1980; Nelson, Smith & Dodd 1990; Smetana, 1990; Rest & Narváez, 1994). In the present study we analyse this link among under-18s. For this purpose, a sample of 523 Spanish subjects from both sexes aged 9-18 were administered the A-D Questionnaire of antisocial behaviours (Seisdedos, 1988) and the Sociomoral Reflection Objective Measure (SROM) from Gibbs et al. (1984). Once the original factorial structure for A-D. Questionnaire was tested for our sample, a new series of six factors were developed. These factors were based on the nature of antisocial behaviours rather than on its seriousness, as the original factors were. Using the General Linear Model, the ANOVA and linearity statistics carried out confirm the relation among moral development in minors ant the factors developed. From this point, the link between a factor called �Lack of Civic and Ecological Consciousness� and Moral Judgement in Minors is discussed.
