In Piaget’s 3-stage moral development theory, heteronymous morality is characterized by which of the following:
  1. Viewing rules as unchanging and unchangeable
  2. Awareness that rules can be changed
  3. Awareness that rules can be modified by agreement
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: A - Heteronymous morality, according to Piaget, is the earliest stage of morality for children (from roughly age 4 to age 7). In this phase of development, children think in terms of objective responsibility (value the letter of the law above the spirit) and immanent justice (immediate punishment following a wrongdoing).
