Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aretha's decision is based on a personal gain (getting grape gum) in exchange for a favor (helping her brother get an extra cookie), which aligns with Kohlberg's preconventional level of moral development. This level is characterized by self-interest and the desire to avoid punishment or gain rewards.
