Asked 3 months ago · Viewed 22 times
Under Child Development and Pedagogy, in which stage of Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development does an individual transition from conventional morality to post-conventional morality, where they prioritize social contracts and individual rights rather than treating society's rules as absolute?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, there are two stages at the level of 'post-conventional morality' - Stage 5 (Social Contract Orientation) and Stage 6 (Universal Ethical Principles Orientation). Stage 4 (Authority and Social Order) is the final stage of the conventional level. When a person begins to understand that laws and rules are not unyielding, but are the result of a mutual agreement (Social Contract) for the welfare of society, they enter Stage 5, which is the main transition period from conventional to post-conventional morality.
