Kohlberg'S Stages of Moral Development: By: Maria Rita D. Lucas, PHD

Lawrence Kohlberg built on Piaget's work and proposed a theory of six stages of moral development. The stages are divided into three levels - preconventional, conventional, and post-conventional. In the preconventional level, morality is based on consequences rather than inherent goodness or badness of acts. The conventional level adds considerations of social norms and laws. The post-conventional level involves reasoning based on principles beyond laws themselves. Kohlberg described the six stages progressing from obedience to authority to upholding laws to guiding by enduring moral principles.

KOHLBERG'S STAGES OF

MORAL DEVELOPMENT
By: Maria Rita D. Lucas, PhD
Abstraction/ Generalization
Lawrence Kohlberg built on
Piaget's work, and set the
groundwork for the present
debate within psychology on moral
development.
According to Kohlberg,
moral development occurs
in six stages: LEVEL
Preconventional Level Moral reasoning is
based on the consequence/ result of the
act, not on the whether the act itself is
good or bad. Conventional Level Moral
reasoning is based on the conventions or
" norms" of society. This may include
approval of others, law and order. Post-
conventional Moral reasoning is based
on enduring or consistent principles. It is
not just recognizing the law, but the
principles the law.
Stage 1
Punishment/ Obedience
One is motivated by fear of punishment. He
will act in order to avoid punishment.

Stage 2
Mutual Benefit
One is motivated to act by the benefit that
one may obtain. You scratch my back, I'll
scratch yours.
Stage 3
Social Approval
Onegg is motivated by what others expect in
behavior. The person acts because he/she
values how he /she will appear to others.

Stage 4
Law and Order
One is motivated to act in order to uphold law
and order. The person will follow the law
bevause it is the law.
