Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kohlberg's theory of moral development progresses through three main levels: preconventional, conventional, and postconventional (also referred to as principled). The correct sequence is not explicitly listed in the options, but option A closely resembles the correct order by starting with a stage before conventional morality (premoral), followed by conventional, and then a stage indicating a higher level of moral reasoning (principled). However, it's important to note that the precise terminology Kohlberg used was "preconventional," "conventional," and "postconventional," not "premoral" or "principled." This question seems to have a slight error in the representation of Kohlberg's stages.
