Solution

Kohlberg's theory of moral development is divided into three levels, each containing two stages. Here is how the descriptions match with the levels:

Good and bad is interpreted in terms of external rewards or punishments.
This corresponds to the Pre-conventional Level. At this level, moral reasoning is based on external consequences. It includes:
- Stage 1: Obedience and Punishment Orientation
- Stage 2: Individualism and Exchange
It is sometimes characterized as the "What's in it for me?" level.
This also corresponds to the Pre-conventional Level, specifically Stage 2: Individualism and Exchange, where individuals act based on self-interest and rewards.
Morality involves flexible thinking and is more internalized.
This corresponds to the Post-conventional Level. At this level, individuals recognize universal ethical principles and moral reasoning is more abstract and principled. It includes:
- Stage 5: Social Contract and Individual Rights
- Stage 6: Universal Principles
Individuals abide by certain standards, but they are the standards of others, such as parents or the laws of society.
This corresponds to the Conventional Level. At this level, individuals conform to societal norms and expectations. It includes:
- Stage 3: Good Interpersonal Relationships
- Stage 4: Maintaining Social Order
Individuals engage in deliberate checks on their reasoning to ensure that it meets high ethical standards.
This corresponds to the Post-conventional Level, specifically Stage 6: Universal Principles, where individuals follow self-chosen ethical principles.
Individuals develop expectations about social roles.
This corresponds to the Conventional Level, specifically Stage 3: Good Interpersonal Relationships, where individuals are concerned with living up to social expectations and roles.
