“The editors of this book provide a valuable service by pulling
together the research on dispositional/personality factors related
to morality. The diverse chapters, written by a group of
outstanding researchers and theorists, include an overview on what
is known about this important topic, delineate various frameworks
for conceptualizing the relevant issues, and raise important
questions for future work. This book is a must-read for anyone
interested in morality and moral development and may convince more
personality researchers to study morality.”
– Nancy Eisenberg, Arizona State University
“Moral personality has been largely a moribund topic since the
classic 1930s research of Hartshorne and May, and the critique of
trait theories provided in the 1960s by Walter Mischel. In this
volume, Narvaez and Lapsley, two developmental psychologists, have
brought together a rich and current collection of well-written
chapters in an effort to reconnect morality with theories of
personality, narrative psychology, and social psychology. This book
is an excellent read and belongs on the shelf of anyone with a
serious interest in moral psychology.”
– Larry Nucci, University of California, Berkeley
"The essays in Personality, Identity, and Character: Explorations
in Moral Psychology originated in 2006 and 2008 invited symposia on
moral personality at Notre Dame, as part of a continuing effort to
find the way forward for the science of moral development in the
wake of the Kohlberg paradigm. The contribution by Augusto Blasi at
the end of this volume is worth the price of the book—and a must
read for anyone working in moral psychology..."
– Don Collins Reed, PsycCRITIQUES
"....a rich resource on a huge range of topics in moral
psychology...."
– Bruce Maxwell, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, Journal of
