日常生活中，個人的道德判斷與道德行動時有不一致，這正是道德運作中的一道縫隙。本研究嘗試以香港中學生為研究對象，藉著學生面對校內違規行為的真實經驗，了解他們對違規行為的觀感、回應及採取行動的抉擇因素；進而探討道德動機在道德思考到行動中的作用，並建構學生採取道德行動的抉擇過程。 / 研究採用質性方法，參與深度訪談的共有十三位中學生，都是來自第一組別中學的品行優良生。受訪學生對違規行為的觀感源自其選擇的視點，而回應則按情況而定；視點主要有行為、意圖和違規後果等，而學生在一般情況下，大都願意直接指正、規勸違規同學；但在兩難情況下，大多想逃避過去，對違規行為不作正面回應。至於採取行動的抉擇因素，主要有人際關係、違規行為帶來的影響及違規學生的態度等；而最重要的人際關係因素則包括與違規學生的關係、輿論壓力。本研究的結果和分析，不僅較整全地呈現從思考到行動的道德運作中，一些細節和關鍵因素；還可為華人道德研究及學校道德教育提供參考。最後，本文就道德的相關研究及學校的道德培育提出一些建議，盼能有助理論研究及教育工作的推進。 / Almost every day, a person's moral judgment and moral actions may contradict with each other, reflecting a possible gap in moral functioning. This research attempts to study some discrepancies between moral judgment and moral actions. Thirteen Hong Kong secondary school students participated in this study, in which their past encounters with their fellow students who had violated the school rules were examined. These included the students’ perspective on the violations, the factors that contributed to their decision-making process as to how to react, and their actual reactions. This study also aims to explore into the students’ moral thinking process, especially the impact of moral motives on students’ moral judgment and how this influenced their actual actions. / Using a qualitative study approach, data were collected from thirteen exemplary secondary school students from a top-banding school in Hong Kong. In-depth interviews were conducted with each of these students. The results of data analysis suggest that the students perceived the violating actions according to the violator’s behaviour, intention and the consequences. The majority of these students were often willing to voice out the violations and correct the violator’s behaviour. However, when they were placed in a dilemma, the majority of the students would escape from the situation by turning a blind eye on the violating actions. Factors which affected the decision of whether an action should be taken included social relations, the impact of the violation and the attitude of the violator. Among these factors, the most important one was social relations which was about the students’ personal relationship with the violator and peer pressure. The results of the study not only reflected the cognitive processes behind moral functioning from moral judgment to moral action, also revealed the key factors behind the moral decisions. This study has important implications for further research and practice in that it provides a direction for moral studies, especially in Chinese communities, and gives practical suggestions as to how moral functioning can be taught in secondary schools. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / Detailed summary in vernacular field only. / 鄺文慧 = From moral thinking to moral action : an investigation of how secondary students in Hong Kong respond to rule-breaking behaviors / Kwong Man Wai. / Thesis (Ed.D.)
