Russell is at a video game store with his friends, and he sees an opportunity to steal a new video game without being seen. He decides not to steal the game because his friends will not think it is cool to do that. Russell is likely operating at Kohlberg's __________ level of moral development.

Respuesta :

The correct answer is conventional

For Kohlberg the essence of morality resides more in the sense of justice than in the respect for social norms.

Morality has more to do with considerations of equality, equity, social contracts and reciprocity in human relations and less with the fulfillment or violation of social norms or rules.

Justice is the basic moral principle.

Kohlberg identified three levels of moral development within each one and distinguished two stages.

I - Pre-conventional or pre-moral level (childhood)

II - Conventional level (adolescence)

III - Post-conventional level
