Kohlberg’s Stages of Moral Development
24th April 2025
Kohlberg’s theory of moral development outlines how individuals progress through six stages of moral reasoning, grouped into three levels: preconventional, conventional, and postconventional.
At each level, people make moral decisions based on different factors, such as avoiding punishment, following laws, or following universal ethical principles.
This theory shows how moral understanding evolves with age and experience.
