Answer 1

Tina is more likely to be guided by an internalized set of principles universally recognized as just and right.

There are three levels of moral development; pre-conventional, conventional and post-conventional. Pre-conventional (level 1) is the level in which people are egocentric and only cares about receiving external rewards and avoiding punishment. At the conventional level (level 2),  individuals conform to obey to rules set by society and try to behave according to the society expectations of good behavior. At the post-conventional level (level 3), people are guided by an internalized set of principles that are right and just.  People, like Tina, at the postconventional level may go against society rules and expectations if these violate this set of values and principles they believe in.
