Discussion
According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory, "Performing an act and doing something because others approves it", represents _________ stage of morality.
Answer: B
Doing something because others approve of it belongs to the Conventional stage of morality.
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory the conventional level has two stages: stage 3, the 'good boy, good girl' orientation, where a person acts to win the approval of others and maintain relationships, and stage 4, law and order. Seeking approval is the hallmark of stage 3.
At the pre-conventional level, behaviour is driven by avoiding punishment or getting rewards, not by approval. At the post-conventional level, a person follows self-chosen principles such as justice and rights even when others disapprove. 'Formal conventional' is not one of Kohlberg's levels at all.
