Features: Based on the new advancements in implicit learning and implicit memory research, this book explores the psychological patterns in the formation and development of individual moral character. Building upon a reflection of traditional moral education characterized by indoctrination, it argues for the rationality of focusing on individual happiness as the purpose of moral education and proposes psychological ideas for cultivating moral character. The book systematically reviews research on moral psychology by scholars both domestically and internationally since Piaget, and introduces in detail contemporary Western moral education models such as cognitive, caring, value education, and value clarification. Finally, under the principle of unifying scientific and humanistic spirit, it constructs models of positive caring moral education and moral correction.
