Abstract: About a decade ago\, the so-called &ldquo\;situationist&rdquo\; challenge to the very idea of the virtues was that social psychology had debunked the very idea of personality or character. But that was just wrong about the facts: actually\, from social psychology have grown positive psychological theories of personality\, most notably the social-cognitive theories. So now the challenge is whether\, say\, social-cognitive theory is the good news or the bad news for the very idea of the virtues. This is a challenge not just for moral psychologists interested in the virtues\, but also for social psychologists who study the nature of moral development. In this paper I explore exactly how demanding and difficult that challenge is\, but argue that the social-cognitive literature gives us every hope of meeting it&mdash\;a hope that is both modest and sober\, to be sure\, but a hope that is very real nonetheless.
