Kohlberg's well-known stage theory assumes a sequence of discrete stages that underlie all moral judgment. Stage theory recognizes the problem of integrating considerations but gives no way to solve such integration, even with information from any one stage. And, of course, the stage concept denies any significant integration from different stages. Thus, research on moral judgment needs to study the integration problem which can be tested within Anderson's theory of information integration. The main purpose of the present study was to extend this unificationist approach to the issue of sexual morality. A novel task presents information from two very different stages. The results showed that in contrast to discreteness the stage informers were positively correlated in punishment judgments of both genders about consensual sex of juveniles. Furthermore, the subjects integrated considerations from those very different stages also in contrast to the hypothesis that only a single stage was operative at any time.}, language = {en} } @article{HommersLewandEhrmann2012, author = {Hommers, Wilfried and Lewand, Martin and Ehrmann, Dominic}, title = {Testing the moral algebra of two Kohlbergian informers}, series = {Ps{\´i}cologica}, volume = {33}, journal = {Ps{\´i}cologica}, number = {3}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-133917}, pages = {515-532}, year = {2012}, abstract = {This paper seeks to unify two major theories of moral judgment: Kohlberg's stage theory and Anderson's moral information integration theory. Subjects were told about thoughts of actors in Kohlberg's classic altruistic Heinz dilemma and in a new egoistical dilemma. These actors's thoughts represented Kohlberg's stages I (Personal Risk) and IV (Societal Risk) and had three levels, High, Medium, and Low. They were presented singly and in a 3 x 3 integration design. Subjects judged how many months of prison the actor deserved. The data supported the averaging model of moral integration theory, whereas Kohlberg's theory has no way to handle the integration problem. Following this, subjects ranked statements related to Kohlberg's first four stages in a procedure similar to that of Rest (1975). Higher score went with larger effect of Societal Risk as predicted by Kohlberg's theory. But contrary to Kohlberg's theory, no age trends were found. Also strongly contrary to Kohlberg's theory, effects of Personal Risk (Stage I) and Societal Risk (Stage IV) correlated positively.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hommers1992, author = {Hommers, Wilfried}, title = {Fire-setting: Age trends and psychometrical diagnosis of competency criteria for liability}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-87031}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1992}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Psychometrie}, language = {en} } @incollection{Hommers1991, author = {Hommers, Wilfried}, title = {Summenanteil und Durchschnittsbildung in moralischen und emotionalen Urteilen}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-87028}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1991}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Moralisches Urteil}, language = {de} } @incollection{Hommers1991, author = {Hommers, Wilfried}, title = {Zum Gegenstand der Rechtspsychologie}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-87014}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1991}, abstract = {No abstract available.}, subject = {Rechtspsychologie}, language = {de} } @article{Hommers1991, author = {Hommers, Wilfried}, title = {Das "Z{\"u}ndeln" im Urteil: Alterstrends und psychometrische Diagnostizierbarkeit der zivilrechtlichen Verantwortlichkeit nach \S 828 BGB}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-69690}, year = {1991}, abstract = {Die Regelungen des\S 828 BGB zur zivilrechtlichen Verantwortlichkeit Minderj{\"a}hriger f{\"u}r unerlaubte Handlungen, z.

In contrast to the format of Kohlberg´s moral judgment interview, a nonverbal and quantitative response which makes low demands on verbal facility was used . Moral informers differing in value, i.e. high and low, are presented. The differences in effect of those two pieces of information should be substantial for a person at that specific moral stage, but small for a person at a different stage. Hence, these differences may diagnose the person's moral stage in the simplest possible way as the two levels of each of the thoughts were about typical content of the four Kohlbergian preconventional and conventional stages. The novel task allowed additionally to measure the influence of another moral concept which was about the non-Kohlbergian moral concept of recompense. After a training phase, pairs of those thoughts were presented to allow for the study of integration and individual differences. German and Korean children, 8, 10, and 12 years in age, judged deserved punishment. The patterns of means, correlations and factor loadings showed that elements of both theories can be unified, but produced unexpected results also. Additive integration of each of the two pairs of moral informers appeared, either with two Kohlbergian moral informers or with another Kohlbergian moral informer in combination with information about recompense. Also cultural independence as well as dependence, developmental changes between 8 and 10 years, and an outstanding moral impact of recompense in size and distinctiveness were observed.}, language = {en} } @incollection{LanglotzHommers1978, author = {Langlotz, Maren and Hommers, Wilfried}, title = {Ziele, Aufbau und Durchf{\"u}hrung des MURT}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-73113}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t W{\"u}rzburg}, year = {1978}, abstract = {No abstract available}, subject = {MURT}, language = {de} }
