Which method did Lawrence Kohlberg used to study moral development of children ?
Answer: B
Kohlberg studied moral development by posing moral dilemmas to children and analysing their responses.
He presented hypothetical dilemmas, the best known being the Heinz dilemma about stealing a drug to save a dying wife, and interviewed children about what the character should do and why. It was the reasoning behind the answers, not the answers themselves, that placed a child at one of his stages.
His method was a qualitative clinical interview, not a quantitative or experimental design, and he did not rely on observing children at play, which was closer to Piaget's study of rules in children's games.
