Description In this article we present a part of results from our research focusing on problematics of moral reasoning. A sample consisted of 213 adolescents (108 girls and 105 boys, almost 92% aged between 15 - 17 years). There was used a moral dilemma concerning the abortion and kidnap with eight alternative reasoning: four of them justified the given solution and four gave reasons against it. Our findings point at differences in moral judgement of girls and boys, however, they do not support the concept of male morality of justice and female morality of care. Our research results in a conclusion that persons differ in preference of reasoning based either on relationships, or on principle, yet regardless of gender.
