This chapter emphasizes the importance of family process in constructing an inclusive account of moral development and maturity. The American social landscape is diverse, particularly in urban regions characterized by multiple and overlapping cultural influences. Children growing up in these environments are exposed to heterogeneous moral influences and colorful family configurations. We might expect an important role for justice reasoning in the parenting of second-generation Hmong immigrants from Southeast Asia, refugees from the Darfur region of Sudan, or newly blended families with spouses of differing ethnicities. Yet it is equally reasonable to expect that the same families identify justice as one among many objectives in the moral socialization of their children. The present chapter assumes a broad moral horizon supportive of renewed effort in family research on moral development. Rather than justice reasoning, the foil for this discussion is moral identity. Moral identity refers to ethical maturity through commitments consistent with a sense of self to actions that promote the welfare of others. The chapter considers moral identity in family process with additional illustrations provided from a narrative of an individual studied by the author.
