Key Concepts

Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development

This is a framework that explains how individuals progress through different stages of moral reasoning as they mature. It postulates that moral development occurs in stages—preconventional, conventional, and postconventional—with each stage representing a more complex and abstract way of understanding moral concepts and resolving ethical dilemmas.

Conventional Level of Moral Reasoning

This is the middle level in Kohlberg's theory, where individuals prioritize adherence to laws, social norms, and expectations in order to gain approval from others and maintain social order. Moral decisions at this level are guided by the desire to be seen as 'good' by society and to support established societal rules.
