- Abstract
The objective of this study is to provide an assessment of values and attitudes towards moral issues in a sample of middle school students, by analyzing differences according to gender and age. The participants were 450 middle school students between 12 and 15 years old. The majority of the interviewees strongly agree that the situations presented to them may be considered stealing, or violent acts. Few students were found to carry out actions of solidarity. A greater tendency to decriminalize violence can be seen if it is in self-defense. Similarly, there is less of a tendency towards prosocial behavior in the boys and the younger children. In conclusion, the study highlights the importance of detection and early evaluation of attitudes and interests in the case of these moral issues, with a view to a comprehensive education aimed at the improvement of social coexistence.
