Kohlberg​'s Theory of Moral Development
1. U. S. psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg developed a theory stating that moral development can be categorized under three levels.
2. The first level is called the​ pre-conventional level and is assumed to be where all humans begin at birth. At this​ level, right is what results in​ pleasure, and wrong is whatever causes discomfort and unhappiness.
3. Most people gradually develop to a second level in moral​ reasoning, called the conventional level. Kohlberg said that right and wrong at the conventional level or moral reasoning can be primarily defined in terms of authority​ figures, be they​ parents, political​ leaders, or God.
4. Kohlberg theorized that the highest level of moral reasoning is the​ post-conventional level. Those who reason about moral issues at this level do so mainly in terms of universal principles of equity and justice. In other​ words, neither​ pleasure/pain nor rules set forth by those in authority guide moral​ decision-making at the​ post-conventional level. Same for​ post-conventional. Instead, an​ individual's own sense of right and wrong​ emerges, based on universal principles of the worth of human life.
