“…One well-known criticism of Kohlbergys model, &st made by Gilligan (1982)y concerns gender bias. Gilligan made two claims: (1) that there are two primary orientations to moral reasoning, one involving justice and the other involving care; and (2) that women are more likely to be (incorrectly) scored at Stage Three because concern with caring is stressed in Kohlberg's descriptions of Stage Three reasoning, while it is lacking in descriptions of earlier and later stages (for a thorough discussion of the justicelcare distinction see Puka, 1989). Although this paper does not take up this debate, it does address the question of differences in the moral reasoning stage scores of men and women.…”

This long-term study found that moral reasoning as conceptualised by Kohlberg(1 981 1985) can develop into adulthood. Predominant& white, well-educated, m W -c l a s s particz$ants were interviewed four times at 4-year intervals (N = 44). Stage deuelopment was sequential and continued throughout the lqe spanJ although its occurrence decreased with advancing age in a curvilinear fashion. Post-conventional reasoning was demonstrated by seven adults. Stage of moral reasoning correlated with age strong& in children and moderateb in adultsJ and was moderately correlated with education in all age groups, Addi~onaUyJ advance in moral reasoning stage was correlated with increase in education in adults. Although no systematic gender dzrerences were fmnd across age groupsJ men in the younger adult group had si&zzj?cantly higher scores than women.This paper reports results from a longitudinal and cross-sectional study of the development of moral reasoning across the life span [I]. Investigated were the sequence and trajectory of development, particula3y in adulthood, and the relationships between educationy gender, and moral reasoning stage change. Of particular interest was the investigation of Piagetian-type, structural moral reasoning development during adulthood and the impact of education on such development during that period.The conception of moral reasoning used here relies primarily on Kohlberg's smcrural-developmental model of mural reasoning and its developmentÂ the stage descriptions, criteria and many assumptions of which have been thoroughly articu-

“…The “care as liberation” hypothesis is one of five hypothetical “different voices” designed to join Gilligan's (1982) “different voice” hypothesis in exploring care (Puka 1988, 1989a, 1989b, 1990, 1991). These voices also inquire into care's relation to Kohlberg's “common voice” or “human development” hypothesis—a relation posed by Gilligan—and its consequent theory of moral (justice) development.…”

“…On various occasions, Esther feels a victim of gender bias in a 'power game' caught within a patriarchal context. Despite the pressure from Fr Amos and Fr Albert to conform to conventional gender roles, Esther has developed a more reflective ethical position for dealing with the different clergy (Puka, 1989). She shows a strong personal identity filled with moral and psychological courage because she has navigated a way through situations of unethical practice as she relates these to the weaknesses and flaws of the clergy (Osswald et al, 2010).…”

This article investigates contemporary understandings of the ethics of care. While the ethics of care is predominantly known as showing empathy and support to others, analysing the complex relationship between institutional and personal values of clerical leaders and the congregation in the Roman Catholic Church in England reveals very different understandings. The sociological and psychological concepts of authority, pastoral care and identity are used to analyse the role of a female youth work leader in a Roman Catholic parish who is exposed to different (conservative and liberal) leadership approaches. She explains how her views on care, gender and participation differ from those of three clerical leaders and powerfully illustrates the resulting conflicts between the priests but also towards the congregation. This story shows that individual agency influences strong conservative institutional values and that leadership in faith-based organisations needs to embrace the complex interplay between institutional and personal dynamics.
