Abstract

The article gives a brief account of correlation between the level of moral development of the juveniles living in orphanages and those living in their own families. It is concluded that there is no evident difference between the level of moral development of the juveniles living in orphanages and those living in their families. Nevertheless, the juveniles living in orphanages have the following special features: their moral judgments are poorer; their verbal intelligence is lower; they have a trend to the lower level of emotional intelligence, especially the male juveniles; as compared with the juveniles from the families they have a greater gap between the morality concerning the others and the morality concerning themselves.
