This study examined the moral judgment of 108 Kuwaiti preschool children. The children were tested on 2 dimensions of Piaget’s moral theory, namely moral realism and justice. 4 stories patterned after Piaget's work were used to assess the children's moral judgment. 2 stories dealt with moral realism, and 2 other stories dealt with the issue of justice. Results suggest that the children in this present study are well advanced in their moral judgments in terms of equality and justice, as contrasted with Piaget's original findings. The results of the present study were interpreted in the light of previous research, as well as with regard to the socialization process of children.
