The conclusion by Hartshorne and May (1928) regarding the specificity of moral behavior has been reconsidered in light of reanalyses of their data using factor analysis and Guttman's (1955) simplex model. Other studies relevant to the issue of specificity versus generality of moral behavior were also considered. The evidence indicates there is some underlying generality in moral behavior although there is still much of the variance of the honesty tests due to specific test determinants. A model is proposed to account for the findings. This model involves 2 generalization gradients: a gradient involving just the stimulus elements in a particular situation, and a gradient pertaining to verbal mediation in which certain cognitive elements are abstracted from one situation and generalized to a different and perhaps entirely new setting. Attention was given to the organizing and heuristic value of the model.(47 ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
