“…Adolescent students who were more likely to have a strong moral identity showed high levels of moral judgement maturity. These results were also in line with previous findings (Paramita et al, 2022;Schipper et al, 2023;Schipper & Koglin, 2021;Xu & Ma, 2016). This shows that moral identity emerges as another key factor that contributes to filling this gap and enhancing students' moral judgement maturity.…”

“…For example, previous study found that adolescents with a strong moral identity can consider moral dimensions in moral situations and prioritise moral issues over other issues (Schipper & Koglin, 2021). Later, other study also found that Germany high school students' moral judgement was more rational and mature in dangerous situations with a strong moral identity drive in them (Schipper et al, 2023). Another study suggests that moral identity had a positive relationship on young adults' ethical judgement (Paramita et al, 2022).…”

“…Adolescents who possess a robust moral identity demonstrate heightened sensitivity to societal norms and moral values. Additionally, the robust association between moral identity and moral responsibility reinforces individuals' moral judgement, guiding them towards decisions that align with prevailing societal norms (Schipper et al, 2023;Xu & Ma, 2016). Hence, we hypothesised that high levels of moral identity are significantly correlated with increased moral judgement and significantly associated with moral judgement among secondary school students.…”

In preparation for the challenges of the real world and life after school, moral judgement stands as a pivotal skill among Malaysian secondary school students. Understanding the moral motivating factors contributing to the development of moral judgement maturity is imperative. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationships between moral motivation components—specifically, moral emotion (guilt and shame) and moral identity—and moral judgement among Malaysian secondary school students. A sample of 393 students (170 males, 223 females; M age = 16 years) from Selangor state participated in the study. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was utilised to analyse the predictive associations between these constructs. The findings revealed positive correlations among moral emotion, moral identity, and moral judgement. Notably, both guilt and shame, as well as moral identity, were found to be significantly related to students' moral judgement maturity. These results suggest that the tendency for experiencing guilt and shame, along with a heightened moral identity, play pivotal roles in shaping the moral judgement maturity of secondary school students, potentially fostering their moral development. This study contributes valuable insights into the mechanisms linking emotions and identity to moral judgement maturity, offering significant implications for the field of moral psychology.

The current study examined the association between adolescents’ social goal orientations (i. e., what they want to achieve or avoid in social interactions with their peers) and their externalizing and prosocial behaviors as well as associations with parenting styles. Adolescents and their parents completed the questionnaires. Based on a path model with the data of 354 adolescents ( Mage = 14.11) and 121 parents from Germany, we found that (1) parental warmth had a direct effect on agentic goals (i. e., desire for authority, power, and appearing confident), (2) parental coercion had a direct effect on communal goals (i. e., desire for affiliation and closeness), (3) agentic goals had a direct effect on prosocial, rule-breaking, and aggressive behavior, and (4) communal goals had a direct effect on prosocial and aggressive behavior. In the discussion, we reflect on how the theoretical and practical significance of social goal orientations can guide future research.
