ABSTRACT: Domain coordination is a key construct in social cognitive domain theory.  It accounts for complexity and contextual variability in moral decision-making and allows for a more robust developmental account of social and moral reasoning than prior theoretical frameworks.  Moreover, some research has examined levels of complexity in domain coordination as a factor in reasoning about complex social situations, and as an indicator of the impact of educational practices.  The purpose of this meeting is to focus on this core construct by highlighting some exciting research by our emerging scholars that illuminates work in this area, and by engaging in an in-depth analysis of the open questions and unresolved issues of theory surrounding this key aspect of domain theory.
