postconventional        

Explanation:

Postconventional stage: In psychology, the "post-conventional stage" was proposed by one of the famous psychologists named Lawrence Kohlberg in his theory of moral development in which he has mentioned a total of three distinct stages and each stage consists of two distinct sub-stages. Lawrence Kohlberg has expanded the work of one of the influential psychologists named Jean Piaget.

According to Kohlberg, in the postconventional stage a child's "sense of morality" is being controlled or guided externally and is therefore explained via abstract values and principles.

In the question above, the given statement signifies the "postconventional stage of moral development".
