✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Lawrence Kohlberg propounded the cognitive-developmental theory of moral development, in which he proposed three levels and six stages. According to him, at the highest level (post-conventional level), an individual acts on the basis of social contract and Universal Ethical Principles. On the other hand, his student and psychologist Carol Gilligan, in her book 'In a Different Voice', criticized Kohlberg's theory, arguing that Kohlberg's study was primarily based on males, giving priority to a justice-oriented perspective, whereas moral decisions in females develop more in the context of 'care, empathy, and interpersonal relationships' (Ethics of Care).
