James Rest - Four Stages Component Model

Four Stages Component Model

Rest maintained that four key psychological components must be developed for a person to be morally mature and correct. These were moral sensitivity, moral judgment, moral motivation, and moral character. These would allow the person to be able to recognize the issues at hand, make correct and intelligent judgements, have the motivation to take action and the character to maintain good morality throughout the person's life.

Rest died in 1999, his work continued at the Center for the Study of Ethical Development by his peers and colleagues.

    When Titian was mixing brown madder,
    His model was posed up a ladder.
    Said Titian, “That position
    Calls for coition,”
    So he lept up the ladder and had her.
