- Abstract
School is important for the academic education of children and adolescents, but also for their moral development. The development of moral motivation is equally necessary compared to the communication of moral knowledge. This study (Nstudents = 2891, Nclasses = 145) investigated whether a school environment is able to facilitate these demands. School environment was measured by different climate indicators: student-student-relations, opportunities to participate, school identification, and student-teacher-relationships. Multi-level analyses revealed a significant relation of subjectively perceived school climate and adolescents' moral motivation. However, class level aggregates of school climate showed no influence on moral motivation. Furthermore, gendered effects were identified: For boys the perceived school climate has an effect on moral motivation, but not for girls.
