Gender as a factor in the particular readiness to accept moral responsibility in adolescence

The development of the moral sphere is largely due to social and personal than biological factors. In this regard, the influence of biological sex on moral development is not decisive. At the same time, there are a number of factors that speak in favor of the differences in the moral and ethical sphere of boys and girls. This is promoted, firstly, by the tradition of educating boys and girls (which determines the social factor in the development of the moral sphere), and secondly - the difference in personal maturation (which characterizes adolescent girls as more mature than boys and determining differences in their moral sphere).
