The Theory Explained (male)
• According to Gilligan, males and females develop different morals.
• Through her studies, she found that males consider formal rules and abstract principles to be important in defining right and wrong.
• Example Males seek justice through retribution or restitution.
• Gilligan claimed that a boy might see stealing as wrong because it is “against the rules” and he may want the thief to be punished.

The Theory explained (female)
Gilligan theorized that females judge actions based on how actions affect personal relationships and loyalties.• Females have a more person-based
approached.• A girl is more likely to wonder why a person
would steal and she would want to help such a person.

Criticisms
• Critics suggest that Gilligan’s findings are valid but do not tell us why the differences exist.
• Gilligan suggested that it is largely a matter of socialization, but there is obviously room for the other solution in this discussion.
