Assertion (A) : In Lawrence Kohlberg's moral development theory children move from understanding consequences of acts to determine whether they are good or bad to understanding that rules and laws are flexible and can be changed.
Reason (R) : Lawrence Kohlberg argues that moral development occurs progressively in stages.
Choose the correct option :
Answer: A
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
In Kohlberg's theory, young children at the preconventional level judge an act good or bad by its consequences, reward or punishment. At the postconventional level, people understand that laws and rules are social agreements that can be changed when they no longer serve human welfare. The assertion describes this movement correctly.
The reason states that moral development proceeds through a sequence of stages, and it is this stage-wise progression that carries the child from one way of reasoning to the other, so (R) explains (A).
