✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Kohlberg's Conventional Level of Moral Development
According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory, the Conventional Level is the second level of moral development, typically emerging in early adolescence. The distinction between its stages is crucial for understanding social conformity:
- Good Boy-Good Girl Orientation (Stage 3): Moral reasoning is centered on interpersonal relationships, empathy, and the desire for social approval (being seen as a 'good' person).
- Law and Order Orientation (Stage 4): Moral reasoning shifts toward obedience to authority, upholding laws, fulfilling societal duties, and maintaining social order for its own sake.
Therefore, option B accurately captures the shift from interpersonal accord to systemic social duty.
