MODULE 4.1
Kohlberg's Stages
1. Pre-conventional level
- Moral reasoning is based on external rewards and
punishments
• Stage 1: The punishment and obedience orientation
• Stage 2: The instrumental purpose orientation
Example: The child won’t grab the candy at the supermarket for
fear of being slapped.
Possible answers for Kohlberg’s dilemma by children of Stage 1.
For stealing: If you let your wife die, you will get into trouble.
You’ll be blamed for not spending your money to save her and
there will be an investigation of you and the druggist for your
wife’s death.
Against stealing: You should not steal the drug because you’ll
be caught and sent to jail if you do. If you do get away, your
conscience would bother you thinking how the police would catch
you at any minute.
Example: A mother tells her child: “If you are quiet at the mall, I
will buy you an ice cream.” Possible answers for Kohlberg’s
dilemma by children of Stage 2
2. Conventional level
Stage 3: The "good boy-good girl" orientation
Stage 4: The social-order-maintaining orientation
Conventional—laws and rules are upheld simply because they
are laws and rules.
• Needs of Laws and society are the defining features.
• “Don't steal” because it is against the law
• Good behaviour is motivated to maintain the affection and
approval of friends and relatives
• Understand that standards are set for the current social
system, not getting that there is self-interest involved (e.g., no
such thing as a bad law)
Stage #3: Good Boy/Nice Girl Orientation

People should live up to the expectations
of the family and community and behave
in "good" ways. Good behavior means
having good motives and interpersonal
feelings such as love, empathy, trust, and
concern for others.
Example: Volunteering at a nursing home
is the right thing to do.
• For stealing: Nobody will think you’re bad if you steal the
drug but your family will think you’re an inhuman husband if you
don’t. If you let your wife die, you’ll never be able to look
anybody in the face again.
• Against stealing: It isn’t just the druggist who will think
you are a criminal, everyone else will, too. After you steal it, you’ll
feel bad thinking about how you’ve brought dishonor on your
family and yourself. You won’t be able to face anyone again.
While stage three actions are more concerned with pleasing your
family, stage four is associated with following society as a whole.
Emphasis is spent on obeying laws to maintain social order.
3. Post-conventional level
- Postconventional—reasoning based on personal moral
standards
• Stage 5: The social-contract orientation
• Stage 6: The universal ethical principle orientation
• Personal moral beliefs and values
• Characterized by references to universal ethical principles
that represent protecting the rights or of all people
• Most adults do not reach this level.
Example: Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus because
it was an unjust law discriminating against African Americans.
