Moral reasoning is central in all professionalisms and it is crucial
in those professions where economical and financial aspects can be used to
“help” or not the others. The present pilot study aims at investigating possible
differences in moral judgement between students of Economics at their first year
and students at the end of university training. This population will be compared
to a similar group of students of the School of Psychology. Results show that
gender and academic seniority can directly drive moral decision making, while the
fact to be enrolled in different academic courses (i.e. Economics Vs Psychology)
can probably only indirectly modulate this behavior. Some explanations to these
phenomena have been put forward and discussed in a critical way.
