<strong>Sports</strong>, Youth and Character: A Critical Survey<br />

203 Colby and Kohlberg, <strong>The</strong> Measurement <strong>of</strong> Moral Judgment, vol. 1, pp. 17, 35, 41-48. A brief<br />

description <strong>of</strong> the scoring procedure can be found in Jan Boom, Daniel Brugman, and Peter G. M. van<br />

der Heijden, “Hierarchical Structure <strong>of</strong> Moral Stages Assessed as a Sorting Task,” Child Development, 72<br />

(March-April, 2001), pp. 538-39.<br />

204 Colby and Kohlberg, <strong>The</strong> Measurement <strong>of</strong> Moral Judgment, vol. 1, p. 33; James Rest, “An<br />

Interdisciplinary Approach to Moral Education,” in Marvin Berkowitz and Fritz Oser, eds., Moral Education:<br />

<strong>The</strong>ory and Application (Hillsdale, New Jersey: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates, 1985), p. 17.<br />

205 That Kohlberg’s moral stages really measure a certain kind <strong>of</strong> cognitive sophistication correlated<br />

with education is convincingly demonstrated in <strong>The</strong>o L. Dawson, “A Stage is a Stage Is a Stage: A Direct<br />

Comparison <strong>of</strong> Two Scoring Systems,” Journal <strong>of</strong> Genetic Psychology, 164 (2003), pp. 335-64; and <strong>The</strong>o<br />

Two Perspectives,” Developmental Review, 23 (2003), pp. 162-218.<br />

207 Colby and Kohlberg, <strong>The</strong> Measurement <strong>of</strong> Moral Judgment, vol. 1, p. 10.<br />

208 Lawrence Kohlberg, “Stages <strong>of</strong> Moral Development as a Basis for Moral Education,” in Brenda Munsey,<br />

ed., Moral Development, Moral Education, and Kohlberg: Basic Issues in Philosophy, Religion, and<br />

Education (Birmingham, Alabama: Religious Education Press, 1980), pp. 17, 42-43.<br />

209 Kohlberg failed to see this point because he conflated universality and generality. Generality, unlike<br />

universality, does come in degrees. To see the difference between universality and generality, consider<br />

these three principles: (i) “Each person needs to concern himself with his self-interest only;” (ii) “Each<br />

person needs to concern himself with the interest <strong>of</strong> fellow citizens only;” (iii) “Each person needs to<br />

concern himself with the interests <strong>of</strong> all mankind.” <strong>All</strong> three principles are fully universal (they are all<br />

governed by the universal quantifier, “for any person, that person needs...”) but the scope <strong>of</strong> concern<br />

broadens from the first to the third - the last principle is more general than the second and the second<br />

more than the first. Now, whether our scope <strong>of</strong> concern ought to extend to fewer or greater number is<br />

itself a moral question that can’t be decided by appeal to purely formal or logical considerations.<br />

210 <strong>The</strong> Center for the Study <strong>of</strong> Ethical Development, founded by Rest and directed by him until his death<br />

in 1999, released a new instrument five years ago, DIT 2, that uses fewer and different hypothetical<br />

dilemnas for subjects to respond to. DIT 2 putatively yields results matching those generated by DIT. <strong>The</strong><br />

latter is still distributed by the Center, housed at the University <strong>of</strong> Minnesota.<br />
