Kohlberg found that more men reached this stage of moral reasoning than women and that men tended to be heavily focused on justice. Gilligan criticized this theory, arguing that it was biased in favor of men. In her own research, Gilligan found that women placed a stronger emphasis on caring in moral decision making. Kohlberg's theory emphasizing justice does not allow for the role of caring in moral decision making, and this is why women often fail to reach Kohlberg's âhigherâ stages of moral reasoning.
Gilligan began her career at Harvard in 1967, teaching alongside Erik Erikson, one of the most well known developmental psychologists. Carol Gilligan is best known for her work on moral development in girls and women. Based on interviews of women who were deciding whether to have an abortion and men who were considering fighting in the Vietnam War, Gilligan devised a theory of how womenâs stages moral development differed from menâs.
