Kinder treffen im Laufe ihres Lebens und insbesondere in der Schule auf zahlreiche moralische Konflikte. In einer Untersuchung wurde erhoben, wie Grundschulkinder moralische Urteile in unterschiedlichen Kontexten fällen – wie bei Provokationen oder Lügen – und welche Zusammenhänge diese mit emotionalen und Verhaltensproblemen haben. Mithilfe einer Clusteranalyse wurden drei moralische Profile identifiziert: Kinder, die moralische Flexibilität zeigten und Provokationen als Rechtfertigung für Regelbrüche akzeptierten; Kinder, die moralische Übertretungen ablehnten; Kinder, die moralische Übertretungen in allen Kontexten rechtfertigten. Die Kinder der ersten zwei Profile wiesen weniger emotionale und Verhaltensprobleme auf als die Kinder des dritten Profils. Die Bedeutung moralischer Flexibilität im Umgang mit herausfordernden moralischen Situationen wird diskutiert.

The terms moral self and moral identity are sometimes used synonymously. Attempts to differentiate the concepts of moral self and moral identity across age groups have been made theoretically, but rarely empirically. In theoretical discourses, the moral self was seen more as a precursor construct in childhood for moral identity in adolescence. Empirical delineation of these two age groups (childhood and adolescence) has received less attention. The present study aims to compare these two groups (children and adolescents) and examines the role of parenting styles for moral self in childhood and moral identity in adolescence, and prosocial behavior to add to this research gap. A total of 391 first- to eleventh-grade students (196 children and 195 adolescents) from public primary and secondary schools in Germany participated in the study. A comparison of the two models (children and adolescents) shows significant differences in the postulated path models. While parental warmth evokes significant associations in childhood, the path model for adolescents only reveals significant associations with parental strictness.

The Bullying Participant Behavior Questionnaire (BPBQ) is widely used to assess bullying roles in different populations. This study aimed to investigate the structure, construct validity, and reliability of a German version of the BPBQ in a sample of 250 German-speaking adolescents aged 10–16 years (M = 12.92; SD = 1.36; 51.6% female). A second goal was to develop a short version that retains key behaviors but enhances usability. Results indicated that the five oblique factors model fit the long version best, consistent with the original BPBQ and prior research. The short version demonstrated a better model fit, strong internal consistency, and did not require error correlations or modifications. The shorter format improves the questionnaire’s practicality while preserving its accuracy. This study underscores the importance of refining tools like the BPBQ to better capture bullying dynamics and highlights the advantages of a concise version for varying purposes.
