The ethic of care: stability over time, gender differences, and correlates in mid- to late adulthood

Article Abstract:

A study of the ethics of care, using the Ethic of Care Interview (ECI) shows that more women face care-related interpersonal life dilemmas, whereas more men face impersonal ones. Stability of care levels is moderate through mid- to late adulthood. Correlates of care include justice levels, role taking, and cognitive complexity. Authoritarianism is negatively correlated to care ethics. Subjects with high scores on ECI feel more positively about their health and experience of aging.

The construct of future time perspective (FTP), with focus on opportunities and focus on limitations as distinct dimensions, are examined across adulthood.
