This study examines the reliability of the Questionnaire of Sociomoral Reflection in Costa Rican version, elaborated originally by John C. Gibbs and adapted by the author. The questionnaire is applied in short form. By means of three studies, with different samples, interindividual differences are evaluated, in age and gender variables, in sociomoral development of Costa Rican adolescents. The results show appropriate reliability coefficients in three studies. Also, it is carried out a preliminary validity analysis of questionnaire. Results allow to verify clear tendencies informed in the literature about the topic in gender individual differences. For variable age, there are results evidencing a clear developmental trend according to which the sociomoral development seems to show a narrow dependence of the influence of educational level of those who participate in this research
