It still has to be clarified how gender aspects can be integrated without sustaining gender stereotypes. The developmental psychologist Carol Gilligan was among the first to question ethics from a gendered point of view. The notion of care introduced by her challenged conventional developmental psychology as well as moral philosophy. Gilligan was criticised, however, because her concept of ‘two different voices’ may reinforce gender stereotypes. Moreover, although Gilligan stressed relatedness, this is not reflected in her own empirical approach, which still focuses on individual moral reflection. Concepts from social psychology can help overcome both problems. Social categories like gender shape moral identity and moral decisions. If morality is understood as being lived through actions of persons in social relationships, gender becomes a helpful category of moral analysis. Our findings will provide a conceptual basis for the question how empirical research in medical ethics can successfully embrace a gendered perspective."],["dc.format.mimetype","application/pdf"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1023/a:1022514821765"],["dc.identifier.fs","14719"],["dc.identifier.gro","3146753"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?goescholar/4136"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/91554"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.relation.issn","1386-7423"],["dc.relation.orgunit","Fakultät für Biologie und Psychologie"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject.ddc","570"],["dc.title","Gender in medical ethics: re-examining the conceptual basis of empirical research."],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.version","submitted_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Participants: First and R􀓛h year medical students. Design and method: Multidisciplinary, empirical, 2-segment study of ethics in action: In intrapersonal Segment 1, the students were presented with a bioethical dilemma and then administered a 13-item questionnaire to survey their individual preferences for care versus justice arguments in resolving the conSict. The survey questioned 6 justice, 6 care-related items and 1 socially critical item. Data were analysed by gender and year of medical school. In interpersonal Segment 2, the bioethical dilemma from Segment 1 was discussed in gender-mixed and gender-homogeneous groups. Coded transcripts were evaluated to identify prevalences in care versus justice reasoning. Results: Data on 462 medical students were evaluable (n=338 in Segment 1, n=168 in Segment 2, n=44 overlap). Gender and level of education had no eQect on moral reasoning in intrapersonal Segment 1, but signiRcantly aQected reasoning in interpersonal Segment 2, where women signiRcantly tended to use more care-orientated arguments. Justice arguments predominated the group discussions. conclusion: Interpersonal contexts aQect moral reasoning in medical students, probably by amplifying the socialisation relating to gender and educational level. Care orientation is associated with the female gender. Professional socialisation tends to reduce the diversity and richness of moral reasoning towards a more justice-weighted orientation. Medical ethics should teach both justice and care reasoning modes in order to broaden physicians ability to reconcile bioethical dilemmas."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.5167/uzh-49252"],["dc.identifier.fs","585273"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/8242"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/60526"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.title","Care and justice : arguments in the ethical reasoning of medical students"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
