Question- What are factors influencing the Learning of Values?

Answer -

Hogan (1973) believes that moral behavior is determined by five factors :

(1) Socialization : Becoming aware as a child of society’s and parents rules of conduct for being good.

(2) Moral judgment : Learning to think reasonably about our own ethics and deliberately deciding on our own moral standards.

(3) Moral feelings : The internalization of our moral beliefs to the degree that we feel shame and guilt when we fail to do what we “should”.

(4) Empathy : The awareness of other people’s situation, feelings, and needs so that one is compelled to help those in need.

(5) Confidence and knowledge : Knowing the steps involved in helping others and believing that one is responsible for and capable of helping.
