The relationship between moral development and role-taking opportunities (RTO) in adolescence was investigated. Subjects were classified into Kohlberg's Stage 3, 4 or 5 by Defining Issues Test. From the subjects' questionnaire responses to five social interaction situations, i.e., interpersonal interaction, group activity, voluntary social activity, contact with mass media, and contact with books three RTO scores were computed, which were assumed to correspond to the three stages. The results showed (a) that the higher the subject's stage, the more post participation in social interactions and (b) that a subject in a given stage had often participated in activities which offered many opportunities of role-taking needed in his stage.
