Dear sir/Madam
RE: Research proposal: The relationship between moral development and
identity Development during adolescence
I am currently associated with the University of South Africa, where I am an honors student in
psychology. I have a special interest in the relationship between moral development and
identity development during adolescence, due to my background in working with adolescents.
Moral development is seen as one of the key human development areas. Although moral
growth takes place throughout the lifespan and ideally culminates in a deep level of moral
development and reasoning as a permanent personality characteristic, it is especially during
adolescence that moral development, or the lack thereof, is reflected in specific values and
ideals. I attach a proposal for further research in this field.
Many factors such as parenting styles and social life involvement seem to influence moral
development and I am interested in finding out to what extend do these factors influence moral
development during adolescence. The reason for approaching you is to submit this proposal for
assessment by my peers. The proposed project is required for my course in research
methodology. It therefore seems appropriate to submit this project for assessment by my peers
in order to see what they think of the topic and of my ability to write a proposal for a scientific
study.
I hope to hear from you
soon. Yours sincerely
