This description of a novel approach for studying the validity of Kohl berg's sequential and hierarchical theory of moral development involve d 138 boys and 113 girls (14 to 18 years old) choosing a solution amon g 12 to Kohlberg's Heinz dilemma instead of being assigned one by an i nterviewer. The results were not supportive of the theory. The methodo logy of research on moral development needs to be examined.
