SILVA, MATHEUS ESTEVÃO FERREIRA DA. GENDER IN PSYCHOLOGY OF MORAL DEVELOPMENT: THE STATE OF THE ART (1982-2019). Bol. - Acad. Paul. Psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.43, n.105, pp.168-180.  Epub 04-Nov-2024. ISSN 1415-711X.  https://doi.org/10.5935/2176-3038.20230016.

Investigations that intersect gender and morality as a research theme emerged in the field of Psychology of Moral Development mainly from the Kohlberg-Gilligan debate. Some of these researches brought feminist criticism that caused epistemic ruptures in the field, making it revise itself and look for methodological and conceptual alternatives. This article aims to map, by the state of the art, the international research production of English-language in Psychology of Moral Development that has gender as its theme. Through searches in the Virtual Health Library, Journal Storage, CAPES Journal Portal and Scientific Electronic Library Online databases, within the defined period of 1982-2019, 52 articles (N=52) were found. The articles were mapped according to authorship, year and journal of publication, the area to which it is linked and the way to approach gender. The scarcity of this production; the predominance of American authors and periodicals; linking to different areas of knowledge; and prevailing approach to gender differences was found. In short, it was concluded that the mapped production does not seem to have progressed over the last 37 years, both in terms of production volume, which was scarce, and also in terms of the diversity of ways in which gender is addressed, where gender differences prevail, and without more diversified global participation, with the predominance of US authors and journals, although production is also linked to other fields and areas of knowledge.
