PSY 632 Module Eight Short Paper Guidelines and Rubric (Moral Development and Dilemma) This short paper assignment require s that you locate an individual not associated with this course to interview. The interview will take approximately 10 –15 minutes to complete. The interview will be most effective in person, but if this is not possible the interview can take place over the phone, thro ugh email, or through any other appropriate means of technology. Please keep any information regarding the interviewee confidential. If you have not done so already, have your interviewee complete a consent form and submit this to your instructor in this module. During the interview, you will pres ent the interviewee with the Heinz dilemma , made famous by Kohlberg : Heinz Dilemma: In E urope, a woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one dr ug that doctors tho ught might save her. It was a form of radi um that a druggist in the same town had recentl y discovered. The dr ug w as expensive to make, b ut the dr uggist was charging $2 ,000, or 10 times the cost of the dr ug, for a small (possibl y lifesaving) dose. Heinz, the sick woman’s h usband, borrowed all the mone y he co uld, abo ut $2 ,000, or half of what he needed. He told the druggist how his wife was d oing and asked the druggist to sell the dr ug at a lower price or to let him pa y later. The dr uggist replied, “No, I discovered the dr ug, and I’m going to make mone y from it.” Heinz then became desperate and broke into the store to steal the dr ug for his wife. Sho uld Heinz have done that? After reviewing the dilemma with your interviewee, a sk the follow -up questions listed below . Be sure to keep accurate notes of your subject’s response s, as this will help you to complete your paper . 1. Should Heinz steal the drug? Why or why not? 2. If Heinz does no t love his wife, should he steal the drug for her? Why or why not? 3. Suppose the person dying is not his wife but a stranger. Should Heinz steal the drug for a stranger? Why or why not? 4. Why s hould people do everything they can to save another's life? 5. It is against the law for Heinz to steal? Does that make it morally wrong? Why or why not? 6. Why should people generally do everything they can to avoid breaking the law? How does this relate to H einz's case? In this short paper, be sure to address the following critical elements:  State of Moral Development : Review your interviewee’s responses and select which stage of moral development is indicated by each response . Did the answers supplied clearly meet the criteria for one stage? If more than one stage might be indicated, which stage is best represented by the collective information provided across all answers?  Reflection : Reflect on if you believe this is an accurate assessment of the individual’s level of moral development. Are the stages of Kohlberg’s m odel comprehensive enough to identify your interviewee? Did your presence influence the interviewee’s answers? What use might a developmental psychologist or a mental health professiona l have for this information? Could this be utilized for assessing specific personality or characterological issues in development?  Position : Utilizing criticisms of Kohlberg’s model and this experience, construct a positio n on the utility of Kohlberg’s m odel for assessing moral development. Consider if Kohlberg’s theory accounts for atypical moral development (i.e. , criminal behavior or aggressive actions). Does Kohlberg’s theory accurately allow the assessment of a person? Might the actions or decisions i n the response to the Heinz or other dilemm as be situationally dependent?
