ABSTRACT
The turbulence of the current student generation is heightened for us perceptually by its contrast with the complacent passivity of the Eisenhower era. Erikson's concept of the identity crisis has given this common modern predicament a phrasing that has become a part of contemporary intellectual folk culture. Any sociopsychological account of the new student protest has to attend both to characteristics of the students that make them protest-prone and to characteristics of society and its institutions that evoke the protest. Differential participation in social service and protest activities was the basis for defining three additional types are: Constructivists, Broad-Spectrum Activists, and Dissenters. Failure of community, decline of authority, and attrition of received conventional moral values, all result in the individual's moral exposure. According to Lawrence Kohlberg's scheme, there are three levels of moral developments are: Premoral, Morality of Conventional Role-Conformity, and Morality of Self-Accepted Moral Principles.
