Abstract	This article examines real-life moral conflicts from the perspective of the ethic of care. Fifty-six (Time 1) and 57 (Time 2) real-life dilemmas provided by students representing different fields of study were analysed in terms of level of care reasoning according to Skoe's Ethic of Care Interview. The results showed that antisocial temptation and transgression dilemmas tended to invoke lower levels of care reasoning than conflicting-demands and social-pressure dilemmas. Participants reporting temptation dilemmas had the least developed care reasoning. The results suggest that subjects identified at different care levels perceive different types of real-life moral conflict, and that the function of care reasoning varies according to the type of moral conflict.
