Question

Mike completed his homework only because he wanted to avoid losing his recess time. According to Kohlberg's theory, Mike is at what stage of moral development? Pre-conventional stage 1 Pre-conventional stage 2 Conventional stage 3 Post-conventional stage 5

Answer 1

Answer:

He is in the pre-conventional level, specifically in level two.

Explanation:

As the name implies, in the pre-conventional level children have not internalised moral conventions. That means they judge an act's morality based on immediate consequences.

While stage one is obedience and punishment-driven, stage two is self-interest driven. The individual only considers what is convenient for them in a direct manner (i.e. regardless of the socal implications).
