In this experimentally designed intervention study the effects of prison and moral competence training were assessed using as criterion the Moral Competence Test (MCT, formerly called MJT). Whereas the moral competence of prisoners mostly regressed over time, an increase could be recorded in the prisoners who participated in a series of three KMDD-sessions.
Prisoners prefer moral ideals like justice and responsibility just as much as non-prisoners. However, they lack moral competence, which Georg Lind has defined as the ability to solve conflicts through deliberation and communication rather than through violence, deceit and power. The data of this experimentally designed intervention study show that imprisonment mostly makes things worse. It leads to a regression of moral competence. Further, these data show that with appropriate training methods like the Konstanz Method of Dilemma Discussion (KMDD) moral competence can be effectively and sustainably fostered. The KMDD lets participants learn to solve stressful morally dilemmatic moments with mutual respect, thinking and discussion the keys to a non-delinquent life in society.
