一项2期研究考察了印度和美国成年人和儿童（N = 140）对涉及人际和正义期望之间冲突的道德困境的推理。大多数印度人优先考虑人际期望，而大多数美国人优先考虑正义期望。印度人倾向于将他们的冲突解决方案按照道德术语进行分类。相比之下，当美国人优先考虑人际关系时，他们倾向于用个人术语来分类他们的决议。结果意味着，印度人拥有一个postconventional的道德准则，其中人际责任被视为完全原则性的条款，作为正义的义务，并可能被赋予优先于正义的义务。调查结果还表明，人际关系的反应和关怀的个人道德与高度以权利为导向的文化观点有关，如美国所强调的。
A 2-session study examined Indian and American adults' and children's (N = 140) reasoning about moral dilemmas involving conflicts between interpersonal and justice expectations. Most Indians gave priority to the interpersonal expectations, whereas most Americans gave priority to the justice expectations. Indians tended to categorize their conflict resolutions in moral terms. In contrast, when Americans gave priority to the interpersonal alternatives, they tended to categorize their resolutions in personal terms. Results imply that Indians possess a postconventional moral code in which interpersonal responsibilities are seen in as fully principled terms as justice obligations and may be accorded precedence over justice obligations. Findings also suggest that a personal morality of interpersonal responsiveness and caring is linked to highly rights-oriented cultural views, such as those emphasized in the United States.
