Introduction into methodology of moral reasoning, esp. represented by
the Kohlberg's theory, and methods of james Rest are presented. With r
espect to continuing cross-cultural verifications of the main issues a
s so as to the possible effect of historical/political experience in t
he post-communist countries, the pilot study (104 adolescents and youn
g adults, in four groups) was realized. Analysis of variance revealed
significant differences between groups in prae-, conventional and post
-conventional reasoning, not in ''advanced conventional'' ones. Gratui
tous blood doners scored highest in items/stories with individual valu
es, the young religious group in items/stories subsumed as social''. D
iscussion of the forms of evaluative procedures (P % or other forms) l
eaning to the results obtained is aimed to the perspectives of further
international collaboration in this area, which is highly actual now.
