Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Research on moral education programs has found that the effects are both modest and limited. The average increase is about half a stage, and it typically occurs among adults whose reasoning reflects stages two and three. Further, the effect is highly variable, with some individuals showing strong increases and others showing little or none.
The moral dilemmas that are typically used to assess one's stage of moral reasoning are
seen by some as being too far removed from the everyday experiences of most people to be relevant.
Kohlberg was criticized for emphasizing the underlying morality of such broad social issues as civil rights, free speech, and wilderness preservation at the expense of such everyday, micromoral issues as courtesy, helpfulness, and caring about particular people.
Recent research has shown that the ability to engage in moral reasoning does not always account for moral behavior. The strength and stability of one's self-concept also plays a role.
