Detailed Explanation
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the level of 'Conventional Morality' is observed in children approximately 10 to 13 years of age. Under this level, the third stage is the 'Good Boy-Good Girl Orientation' (Interpersonal Accord and Conformity), where the adolescent is motivated to appear 'good' in the eyes of others, maintain interpersonal relationships, and gain social approval. On the other hand, the fourth stage is the 'Authority and Social-Order Maintaining Orientation' (Law and Order Orientation), in which an individual considers upholding society's rules, authority, and laws as their moral duty so that social order can run smoothly.
