Answer: Correct Answer is : b) Conventional level

Explanation:

According to Kohlberg’s theory of moral development, the conventional level is characterized by an individual’s adherence to societal rules and laws.

Here’s a breakdown of Kohlberg’s theory and the reasoning behind the answer:

  • Kohlberg’s Theory: This theory proposes that moral development progresses through six stages, from childhood to adulthood. Each stage represents a different way of reasoning about moral dilemmas.
  • Conventional Level (Stage 3 & 4): At this level, individuals focus on conforming to the expectations of their social group, family, or nation. They want to be seen as “good boys” or “good girls” and uphold the law and order.
    • Stage 3 (Good boy/Nice girl orientation): Focuses on gaining approval from others and avoiding disapproval.
    • Stage 4 (Law and order orientation): Emphasizes the importance of following rules and maintaining social order.
  • Other Levels:
    • Pre-conventional level (Stage 1 & 2): Morality is based on self-interest and avoiding punishment.
    • Post-conventional level (Stage 5 & 6): Moral reasoning transcends social norms and considers universal ethical principles.
