ABSTRACT Self-Determination Theory (SDT) is an empirically based organismic theory of human motivation, development, and well-being that shares many points of interest with the fields of moral development and moral education. Yet, SDT has been largely disconnected from these fields so far. How can we define and empirically assess autonomous moral motivation? How is moral autonomy achieved in the course of development? And what are the relationships between leading a moral life and happiness? These questions have been occupying moral psychologists and educators for a long time. They are focal for SDT, as well. This special issue highlights various lines of intersection between SDT, morality and education. Contributions either expand SDT into the moral domain or incorporate elements of SDT into moral theory with the ultimate goal of integrating fields that inherently belong together.

自决理论、道德与教育：特刊导论

摘要自我决定理论 (SDT) 是一种基于经验的人类动机、发展和幸福的有机理论，与道德发展和道德教育领域有许多共同点。然而，到目前为止，SDT 在很大程度上与这些领域脱节。我们如何定义和实证评估自主的道德动机？在发展过程中如何实现道德自主？过道德生活和幸福之间有什么关系？这些问题长期以来一直困扰着道德心理学家和教育家。它们也是 SDT 的焦点。本期特刊重点介绍了 SDT、道德和教育之间的各种交叉线。
