Abstract
The study investigated the influence of gender on moral reasoning in an adult population using the philosophical-psychological component paradigm of Boyce and Jensen. 354 women and 391 men drawn from five occupations responded to Moral Content Test (MCT). Statistical analysis of data using t-independent test revealed no significant difference between the sexes on each of the nine ethical considerations that make up the normative ethics of teleology and deonotology. Findings refute Gilligan`s postulation about the unique moral voice of women and corroborated no significant difference between the sexes on moral reasoning.
