Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the question is about identifying the psychologist who studied gender differences in moral perception.
Recall that Lawrence Kohlberg developed a theory of moral development but was criticized for focusing mainly on male perspectives.
Recognize that Carol Gilligan challenged Kohlberg's theory by emphasizing how girls and boys may approach morality differently, highlighting care-based versus justice-based reasoning.
Note that Erik Erikson is known for psychosocial development stages, not specifically moral perception differences by gender.
Remember that Jean Piaget studied cognitive development stages, including moral reasoning in children, but did not focus on gender differences in morality.
