dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between a coach's moral development and that of his/her athletes. This was achieved by administering Rest's Defining Issues Test (DIT), a moral measure, to 101 high school softball and baseball players, and to their 12 coaches. Results showed some relationship exists. In comparison with provided group norms, the use of principled reasoning (P score) and level of global moral maturity (D score) of these high school athletes and coaches, was lower. Additionally, significant differences were found between softball and baseball players level of moral reasoning, with female scores being higher. Recommendations are made for physical educators, directors, and administrators of athletic programs to incorporate a moral educational component within their programs.
