Detailed Explanation of Kohlberg's Conventional Morality
According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the Conventional Level of morality is typically observed during adolescence and adulthood (roughly ages 10 to 13 and beyond). At this stage, individuals internalize the expectations of society and society's laws.
- Good Boy-Good Girl Orientation (Stage 3): The individual focuses on living up to social roles and expectations, seeking approval, and being regarded as a "good" person.
