Concept information
Preferred term
cognitive moral development
Definition
- The basic tenet of moral development, understood as a cognitive process thus also called cognitive moral development, is grounded in the belief that human nature is naturally good. As humans, we lean toward an awareness of the good and have a preference for it rather than for evil and injustice, although we do not always achieve this inclination in our behavior.
