Detailed Explanation
Understanding Kohlberg's Conventional Level
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the Conventional Level comprises Stage 3 and Stage 4:
- Good Boy/Good Girl Orientation (Stage 3): Focuses on interpersonal accord and conformity. The individual seeks social approval and aims to be regarded as a 'good' person by others.
- Law and Order Orientation (Stage 4): Focuses on maintaining social order. The individual obeys laws, respects authority, and performs duties to ensure the smooth functioning of society as a whole.
Therefore, the primary distinction lies between seeking interpersonal approval versus upholding societal rules and institutional order.
