Answer to Question 1

Gilligan pointed to the fact that Kohlbergs scheme was validated on a group of males only. Turiel and others pointed out that Kohlberg used hypothetical situations, not the daily circumstances children might encounter. A third criticism is that his theory reflects Western values and cannot be applied to other cultures.

Answer to Question 2

Unconscious drives affect some behaviors; the importance of attachment between mother and infant; gender identity; adolescent development.
