Document Summary

Based on piagets theory, discontinuous stages, hierarchical order, all people go in the same order through the stages but differ in the stages they obtain. Story-telling technique: asked children of different ages questions about stories involving moral dilemmas and a choice to be considered, was not about the answer but the reason behind it. Pre-conventional period: we do not have our own modals, rather shaped by adults and the consequences following the rules. Obedience and punishment orientation: child avoids getting punished, strives rewards, obedience to authority, if a person is punished they must have done something wrong. Individualism and exchange: realization that there is not only one right view of the authorities, different individuals have different viewpoints, interest in one owns needs. Conventional period: internalize the moral values of adult role models, reasoning is based on the norms of the group.
