Lawrence Kohlberg expanded on Jean Piaget's work to develop a theory of moral development with six stages across three levels - preconventional, conventional, and postconventional morality. Kohlberg's theory was based on research including presenting moral dilemmas like "Heinz steal the drug" to study groups of children. The six stages progress from obedience to authority at stage one to following universal ethical principles at stage six.

This is my first shared presentation ever! It is my way of showing gratitude to the "slideshare community" for all the help they have given me. So, Thanks everybody! Hope you like it! :) ;)
Lawrence Kohlberg (1958) agreed with Piaget's (1932) theory of moral development in principle and developed his ideas further. He used Piaget’s storytelling technique to tell people stories involving moral dilemmas. In each case he presented a choice to be considered.
He identified three distinct levels of moral reasoning each with two sub stages. People can only pass through these levels in the order listed. Each new stage replaces the reasoning typical of the earlier stage. Not everyone achieves all the stages.

Lawrence Kohlberg’s theory of moral development includes three levels: (1) a preconvention level, where judgments are based on self-interest. (2) A conventional level, where judgments are based on traditional family values and social expectations and (3) a post conventional level, where judgments are based on more abstract and personal ethical principles.

Moral Development as presented by Carol Gilligan
Gilligan posited that there are 3 stages to the moral development of an individual, especially females (Gilligan countered the theories presented by Kohlberg, Erikson, and even Freud, which mainly focused on the experiences of white males)
1) LEVEL 1: Pre-Conventional
- The individual is selfish, since survival of the self is the top priority
2) LEVEL 2: Conventional
- "Self-sacrifice is goodness"
- care towards others is beginning to manifest at this stage
3) LEVEL 3: POST-CONVENTIONAL
- Morality of non-violence
- While the needs of others must be catered too, self-preservation is also accommodated at the same time
- Harming of others is considered immoral

Kohlbergs stages of moral development.pptmarc cataluna
Kohlberg's stages of moral development is a psychological theory proposed by Lawrence Kohlberg, which outlines six distinct stages of moral reasoning and ethical growth that individuals typically progress through as they mature. These stages are divided into three main levels: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional morality. At the pre-conventional level, individuals make moral decisions based on self-interest and avoidance of punishment. In the conventional level, morality is guided by societal norms and rules. Finally, in the post-conventional level, individuals develop their own moral principles and ethical values, often transcending societal expectations. Kohlberg's theory has been influential in understanding how people's moral thinking evolves over time and has contributed to the field of moral psychology and education.
Kohlberg’s Stages Of Moral Development.pptxEekaLibunao
Kohlberg’s theory focuses on the thinking process that occurs when one decides whether a behaviour is right or wrong. Thus, the theoretical emphasis is on how one decides to respond to a moral dilemma, not what one decides or what one actually does.
Kohlberg's moral development stages are a six-stage theory of how children learn and develop a sense of morality. According to this theory, which was first proposed in the early 1960s by developmental psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg, children pass through six distinct stages as they mature.

2. Lawrence Kohlberg
A psychologist who modified and expanded upon Jean
Piaget's work to form a theory that explained the
development of moral reasoning.
Jean Piaget - described a two-stage process of moral
development
3. "The Heinz Dilemma"
- Kohlberg based his theory upon research and
interviews with groups of young children.
4. “Heinz steal the drug"
- One example of the dilemmas Kohlberg presented.
5. Level 1. Preconventional Morality
Stage 1 - Obedience and Punishment
• At this stage, children see rules as fixed and absolute. Obeying the
rules is important because it is a means to avoid punishment.
Stage 2 - Individualism and Exchange
• At this stage of moral development, children account for individual
points of view and judge actions based on how they serve
individual needs.
6. Level 2. Conventional Morality
Stage 3 - Interpersonal Relationships
• This stage of moral development is focused on living up to social
expectations and roles.
Stage 4 - Maintaining Social Order
• At this stage of moral development, people begin to consider
society as a whole when making judgments.
7. Level 3. Postconventional Morality
Stage 5 - Social Contract and Individual Rights
• At this stage, people begin to account for the differing values,
opinions and beliefs of other people.
Stage 6 - Universal Principles
• At this stage, people follow these internalized principles of justice,
even if they conflict with laws and rules.
