"Insgesamt konnten die Ergebnisse der vorgestellten Studie den bedeutenden Einfluss der frühkindlichen Erziehungserfahrungen für die Moralkompetenz im Erwachsenenalter belegen. Es lässt sich festhalten, dass dogmatisch religiöse Erziehungsmethoden als moralhemmend einzustufen sind, aber welche Erziehungsmethoden eine hohe Moralkompetenz fördern bleibt folglich unbeantwortet und bedarf einer ausführlichen Untersuchung." (p. 39)

Title: "Religious education and moral development: The influence of a religiously influenced childhood on moral orientation and competence."

"All in all, the results of the presented study could prove the significant influence of early childhood educational experiences on moral competence in adulthood. It can be stated that dogmatically religious educational methods are to be classified as inhibiting the development of moral competence, but which educational methods promote moral competence remains unanswered and requires detailed investigation." (Translation by GL) (p. 39)

Doehne, M., von Grundherr, M., & Schäfer, M. (2018). Peer influence in bullying: The autonomy-enhancing effect of moral competence. Aggressive Behavior, 44, 591-600. doi:https://doi.org/10.1002/ab.21784.

Abstract: "Research has found that moral competence is negatively associated with bullying behavior in schools, but the drivers of this association are not yet well understood. In this paper, we report on two studies which suggest that moral competence acts as a moderator of peer influence in the context of school bullying. Data were collected at two time points in three German higher secondary schools (grades 7–10, average age at measurement: 14.26 years). Using a cross-lagged panel design (CLPD), study 1 (N = 251) found adolescents with low moral competence to be susceptible to peer influence, while no such effect was found for adolescents with high moral competence. Study 2, a cross-sectional analysis (N = 748), found moral competence to be inversely related to the likelihood of an individual's conforming with the pro-bullying behavior of his or her peers. Neither study found corresponding effects for pro-social, defending behavior. Our findings further illuminate the associations between moral competence, peer influence, and school bullying. Some implications for bullying prevention are discussed."
