Answer to Question 1

The highest level of moral reasoning in Kohlberg's theory is postconventional morality. At this level, moral reasoning is based upon one's own moral standards. Postconventional morality contains two stages: stage 5 (which has a contractual and legalistic orientation), and stage 6 (which relies on universal ethical principles). Research indicates that among 7- to 10-year-olds, stage 5 and 6 are virtually absent. However, by age 16, stage 5 reasoning is shown by about 20 percent of adolescents and stage 6 reasoning is shown by approximately 5 percent of adolescents.
