Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kohlberg's theory suggests that as individuals progress through the stages of moral development, their reasoning becomes more sophisticated and abstract. However, research has shown that children's moral judgments can vary significantly, even within the same developmental stage, indicating that their reasoning may not always be consistent within a stage. This inconsistency challenges the idea that children's moral judgments are uniform across different moral dilemmas at the same stage of development.
