Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
In the pre-conventional stage of Kohlberg's moral development theory, people make judgments based solely on their own needs. In the post-conventional stage, people base judgments on abstract personal principles not necessarily defined by society's laws. In the conventional stage, people consider society's expectations and laws when making moral decisions.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Conflict between parents leads to anger and anxiety in children because they want to be loyal to and please both parents. This feeling of being caught in the middle leads to depression, anxiety, and deviant behavior. Children exposed to a continuing demonstration of hostility demonstrate higher levels of aggressive behavior. The less post-divorce conflict between parents there is, the greater is the child's well-being.
