Popis: The relationship of assessed category of moral judgment to subjects' attitudes on two socially-relevant moral issues was examined. Using Hogan's Survey of Ethical Attitudes (SEA), the philosophy of moral rationalism was found to be related to positive attitudes towards the pardon of Nixon and negative attitudes towards amnesty for draft evaders. It was argued that these results support an interpretation of the SEA as primarily a measure of political and social preferences rather than as a scale of moral judgment.
