Nidich and Nidich Development of Personality: Moral Atmosphere
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of this study was to assess the moral atmosphere of Maharishi International University/ University High School (MIU/UHS). A comparison was made between MIUIUHS and 1) the students' previous schools attended before enrolling in MIU/UHS and 2) the participatory democratic schools of Higgins, Power, and Kohlberg's (1981) study. Moral atmosphere is defined as consisting of the individual's perception of the group norms and the valuing of community. Instruments developed by Harvard to measure the moral atmosphere of high schools were used in this study. In addition, questions were asked to elicit responses concerning the students' previous schools attended and to find out what factors they felt most contributed to the moral atmosphere at MIUIUHS.
