Abstract
Three levels of moral maturity (Heteronomy - Autonomy), and 11 scales of CAMI (Control, Agency, and Means-Ends Beliefs Interview) in childre n 8-15 years, revealed in multiple and cannonical correlations relativ ely low interdependence (R(c)= .26); it is accord with our past studie s based on other I - E scales. However, partial aspects of self-attrib utions defined by CAMI, esp. AGOTH - role of powerful others, and MEAT T- role of attributes in means-ends beliefs, proved their relevance to moral maturity. Rather higher instercorrelations of CAMI were obtaine d with the social status of children (sociograms in classrooms, R(c) = .35), relatively high also with teachers' ratings (R(c) = .41), and t he highest one with the school marks (R(c) Each of analyses proved spe cific patterns of self-attributional aspects to be relevant to various social contexts : e.g., the combination of high Control but low AGEFF (effort in agency), low MELUC and MEUNK (Luck and Unknown powers in M eans-Ends Beliefs) to social status; and/or most scales of Agency Beli efs to school success. - Highly idiosyncratic patterns of the Self str uctures contexts with various social experience and moral maturity in the individual were found; verification of their interpretations is th e aim of further analyses.
