About this title

Review

Whiteley and associates make good use of existing theory and previous research in developing their program, but venture far beyond existing programs into uncharted territory. Equally impressive is the simultaneous launching of an extensive research program, using state-of-the-art evaluation techniques, and producing a wealth of information about character development in students. -- Professor James Rest, University of Minnesota This book reports the most significant studies of the personal development of American college undergraduates since Nevitt Sanford's classic research a generation ago. Whiteley and associates break much important ground including new insights into theinteraction between ego and moral development, the development of college undergraduates, the discussion of psychological community as understood by environmental and counseling psychology, and the potential role for assertion training in influencing growth in moral reasoning. -- Professor Ralph Mosher, Boston University This book reports the most significant studies of the personal development of American college undergraduates since Nevitt Sanford's classic research a generation ago.
