Answer 1
The ideal answer should include:
1. In all ethnic-racial groups, having a strong ethnic-racial identity is related to psychologically adaptive outcomes.
Answer 2
The ideal answer should include:
1. Research has found that Kohlberg's assumption that moral reasoning leads to moral behavior tends to hold at the higher moral stages (stages 5 and 6).
2. However, people who reason at stages 3 or 4 do not always behave consistently with their moral views, and might justify cheating because "other people are doing it and getting away with it," which is a stage 1 to 2 level rationale.
