Question

The primary objective in Kohlberg’s preconventional level is to fulfill one’s own needs and wants.

Answer 1

Answer:

This statement is true.

Explanation:

According to Lawrence Kohlberg's (October 25, 1927 – January 19, 1987) theory, there are six stages of moral development. The moral development services as the basis for ethical behavior and starts with the preconventional level - it is mostly characteristics to children and animals.  

This level has two stages. While on the first stage, an individual's actions are mostly driven by obedience and punishment, on the second stage, the individual focuses on his or her own needs and wants (driven by self-interest). For example, a child considers if a particular game satisfies his or her interests and does not think of the interest of other children.
