Current interest in moral theorizing has been dominated by Kohlberg's cognitive developmental view. Haan (1982) has challenged psychology's reliance on this rationalistic focus and has argued for a rethinking of morality's meaning in accord with everyday human experience. In light of this challenge, the present study gives both theoretical and empirical support to the advancement of a morality for everyday life. Specifically, a new measure called the visions of morality scale (VMS) is reported. The VMS is sensitive to three dimensions which are necessary for an everyday morality : 1. a human constitutive component which is universally experienced by all human beings (empathy) 2. the inclusion of a behavioural component which reflects actual behaviour (empathy) 3. a view of morality that is multilevel (private, interpersonal, and social) A brief sketch of the VMS is provided. Results are presented from a study of 181 high school students which relate the VMS to empathy and political orientation. Highly significant relationships were found among morality, political orientation, and empathy. In addition, results revealed numerous sex differences. Finally, the implications of an everyday morality are discussed.
