Discussion
According to Kohlberg's theory of moral development, at what stage are children self-centered and see their own benefit in doing something ?
Answer: B
This is the second stage in the first level.
Kohlberg's first, preconventional level has two stages. In stage 1 (obedience and punishment orientation) the child obeys to avoid punishment. In stage 2 (individualism and exchange, or instrumental purpose) the child is self-centred and acts to serve his own interests, doing things for others only in return for a benefit.
Stage 3 is the 'good boy, good girl' orientation of the conventional level, and stage 5 is the social contract orientation of the postconventional level.
