Child who believes that "what is right is lawful and that what is wrong in unlawful", is at what stage of moral development, as per Kolberg's theory ?
Answer: B
The child is at the stage of social system morality.
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory, stage 4 (law and order, or social system morality) belongs to the conventional level. The person judges right and wrong by whether something upholds the laws and rules of society: what is lawful is right and what is unlawful is wrong.
Punishment and obedience orientation (stage 1) judges acts by whether they are punished. Interpersonal norms, also called the good boy/good girl orientation (stage 3), judges acts by whether they win the approval of others. Neither rests on the law itself.
