Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kohlberg's theory of moral development does not include a stage called "care and justice orientation." This concept is more closely associated with Carol Gilligan's critique of Kohlberg's theory, where she proposed an alternative approach to moral development that emphasizes care and relationships. Kohlberg's stages include obedience and punishment orientation, self-interest orientation, conformity and interpersonal accord, authority and social-order maintaining orientation, social contract orientation, and universal ethical principles.
