Youngsters at Kohlberg's preconventional level of moral reasoning are likely to define right behavior in terms of:

Question 2

If we look at children's moral development from the perspective of Lawrence Kohlberg's stage theory, then we would expect to see which one of the following trends?
 
  a. Preschool children have little idea of what behaviors are likely to be punished. As they proceed through the school years, they show an increasing tendency to avoid punishment by behaving appropriately.
  b. In the late elementary years (fifth and sixth grade), we see a temporary reversal to the immoral behavior of the preschool years.
  c. Children become increasingly more religious in how they define right and wrong (e.g., by defining right as obeying the Koran or Ten Commandments).
  d. Children become increasingly likely to define right and wrong in terms of what behaviors will help society run smoothly.
