moral development, Kohlberg posed moral dilemmas to children, teenagers, and adults, such as the following:
A man’s wife is dying of cancer and there is only one drug that can save her. The only place to get the drug is at the store of a pharmacist who is known to overcharge people for drugs. The man can only pay $1,000, but the pharmacist wants $2,000, and refuses to sell it to him for less, or to let him pay later. Desperate, the man later breaks into the pharmacy and steals the medicine. Should he have done that? Was it right or wrong? Why? (Kohlberg, 1984) [23]
Video Clip: People Being Interviewed About Kohlberg’s Stages
As you can see in Table 6.5 "Lawrence Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Reasoning", Kohlberg concluded, on the basis of their responses to the moral questions, that, as children develop intellectually, they pass through three stages of moral thinking: the preconventional level, the conventional level, and the post conventional level.
Table 6.5 Lawrence Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Reasoning
Age |
Moral Stage |
Description |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Until about the age of 9, children, focus on self-interest. At this stage, punishment |
|
|
Preconventional |
is avoided and rewards are sought. A person at this level will argue, “The man |
|
Young children |
morality |
shouldn’t steal the drug, as he may get caught and go to jail.” |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
By early adolescence, the child begins to care about how situational outcomes |
|
|
|
impact others and wants to please and be accepted. At this developmental phase, |
|
|
|
people are able to value the good that can be derived from holding to social norms |
|
|
|
in the form of laws or less formalized rules. For example, a person at this level may |
|
Older children, |
|
say, “He should not steal the drug, as everyone will see him as a thief, and his wife, |
|
adolescents, |
Conventional |
who needs the drug, wouldn’t want to be cured because of thievery,” or, “No |
|
most adults |
morality |
matter what, he should obey the law because stealing is a crime.” |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
At this stage, individuals employ abstract reasoning to justify behaviors. Moral |
|
|
|
behavior is based on self-chosen ethical principles that are generally |
|
|
|
comprehensive and universal, such as justice, dignity, and equality. Someone with |
|
|
|
self-chosen principles may say, “The man should steal the drug to cure his wife and |
|
|
Postconventional |
then tell the authorities that he has done so. He may have to pay a penalty, but at |
|
Many adults |
morality |
least he has saved a human life.” |

Although research has supported Kohlberg’s idea that moral reasoning changes from an early emphasis on punishment and social rules and regulations to an emphasis on more general ethical principles, as with Piaget’s approach, Kohlberg’s stage model is probably too simple. For one, children may use higher levels of reasoning for some types of problems, but revert to lower levels in situations where doing so is more consistent with their goals or beliefs (Rest,
1979). [24] Second, it has been argued that the stage model is particularly appropriate for Western, rather than non-Western, samples in which allegiance to social norms (such as respect for authority) may be particularly important (Haidt, 2001). [25] And there is frequently little correlation between how children score on the moral stages and how they behave in real life.
Perhaps the most important critique of Kohlberg’s theory is that it may describe the moral development of boys better than it describes that of girls. Carol Gilligan (1982) [26] has argued that, because of differences in their socialization, males tend to value principles of justice and rights, whereas females value caring for and helping others. Although there is little evidence that boys and girls score differently on Kohlberg’s stages of moral development (Turiel, 1998),[27] it is true that girls and women tend to focus more on issues of caring, helping, and connecting with others than do boys and men (Jaffee & Hyde, 2000). [28] If you don’t believe this, ask yourself when you last got a thank-you note from a man.

•Adolescence is the period of time between the onset of puberty and emerging adulthood.
•Emerging adulthood is the period from age 18 years until the mid-20s in which young people begin to form bonds outside the family, attend college, and find work. Even so, they tend not to be fully independent and have not taken on all the responsibilities of adulthood. This stage is most prevalent in Western cultures.
•Puberty is a developmental period in which hormonal changes cause rapid physical alterations in the body.
•The cerebral cortex continues to develop during adolescence and early adulthood, enabling improved reasoning, judgment, impulse control, and long-term planning.
•A defining aspect of adolescence is the development of a consistent and committed self-identity. The process of developing an identity can take time but most adolescents succeed in developing a stable identity.
•Kohlberg’s theory proposes that moral reasoning is divided into the following stages: preconventional morality, conventional morality, and postconventional morality.

•Kohlberg’s theory of morality has been expanded and challenged, particularly by Gilligan, who has focused on
differences in morality between boys and girls.

1.Based on what you learned in this chapter, do you think that people should be allowed to drive at age 16? Why or why not? At what age do you think they should be allowed to vote and to drink alcohol?
2.Think about your experiences in high school. What sort of cliques or crowds were there? How did people express their identities in these groups? How did you use your groups to define yourself and develop your own identity?
