Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gilligan argued that women tend to reason morally on the basis of caring or compassion, which she called an "ethic of care." She argued that Kohlberg's theory of moral development was developed based on studies with male participants and did not adequately capture the way women tend to think about moral issues. Gilligan did not argue that women are given inflated ratings of moral reasoning in Kohlberg's studies, regard abortion as a special "women's issue," or that Kohlberg ignored women because he was a bachelor.
