At which level of Lawrence Kohlberg's moral reasoning, do children typically believe that people should live up to the expectations of the society and behave in "good" ways ?
Answer: C
This belief belongs to the conventional level.
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory, the conventional level includes stage 3, the 'good boy, good girl' orientation, in which people try to live up to what others expect and to be seen as good, and stage 4, the law-and-order orientation. Living up to society's expectations and behaving in 'good' ways is the hallmark of this level.
At the pre-conventional level, moral judgement is based on punishment and reward. 'Pre-operational' and 'post-operational' are not Kohlberg's levels at all: pre-operational is one of Piaget's cognitive stages.
