Lawrence Kohlberg’s stage theory is an adaptation of Piaget’s psychological theory. Kohlberg discusses six stages of moral development. At what stage is a person entirely guided by his or her own conscience, according to Kohlberg’s theory?
  1. Stage 1
  2. Stage 2
  3. Stage 5
  4. Stage 6
Explanation
Answer: D - People are only guided by their own conscience and sense of morality in stage 6, which is the second stage of the post-conventional level. Stage 6 morality is based on universal justice; laws, for example, are only respected if they are also just. Kohlberg found it difficult to identify many people operating at this level of morality.
