Description:

This course engages the structural-developmental research study of ethical compassion in decision making. Theories of moral, ethical, and spiritual virtues are presented. Expected research relationships between moral and ethical judgment questionnaires developed by Kohlberg and Erdynast are discussed as are general relationships between levels of moral development and levels of spiritual development. The social contract, structural-developmental conception of compassion presumes capacity for several levels of compassion within individuals and across different individuals. The course also focuses on spiritual development as conceptualized by the Tibetan Dalai Lama. Students review the research interview questionnaires designed for use by a team of researchers to interview Tibetan refugee adolescents in Dharamsala, India, location of the Tibetan-government-in exile.
