Discussion
According to Kohlberg, moral development proceeds from a concern with :
(1) Rewards and punishment
(2) Through a focus on social conventions and rules
(3) Toward a sense of Universal Moral Principle
(4) The development of super-ego
Select the correct option from the codes given below :
Codes :
Answer: C
The correct statements are (1), (2) and (3).
Kohlberg's theory traces moral reasoning through three levels. Pre-conventional reasoning is concerned with rewards and punishment (1). Conventional reasoning focuses on social conventions, rules and the expectations of others (2). Post-conventional reasoning moves towards universal ethical principles (3).
The super-ego (4) is Freud's concept of the internalised conscience, not part of Kohlberg's cognitive-developmental sequence, so every option including (4) is wrong.
