title: Enhancement of maturity of moral judgment by parent education.
abstract: Relationships between maturity of moral judgment of parents, role-taking opportunities in the home, roletaking ability in children and maturity of children's moral judgment were studied. A parent intervention program designed to increase role-taking opportunities in the home thought to lead to an increase in the maturity of moral judgment of children was utilized. Suggestive evidence for the claim that it is possible to accelerate rates of moral maturity of children through intervening indirectly to train their parents was found. Significant relationships were also found between maturity of moral judgment in children and role-taking AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR role-taking in the home. Maturity of moral judgment of parents was not found to be significantly related to maturity of moral judgment of their children.
