While reading the Kohlberg article, I took some notes: Kohlberg's levels: Level I. Pre-Moral Level Type 1. Punishment and obedience orientation. - Motive => Punishment by another. Type 2. Naive instrumental hedonism. Motive => Manipulation of goods, rewards by another.
Level II. Morality of Conventional Role-Conformity Type 3. Good-boy morality of maintaining good relations, approval of others. Motive =>Disapproval by others. Type 4. Authority maintaining morality Motive => 1. Censure by legitimate authorities followed.
Level III. Morality of Self-Accepted Moral Principles Type 5. Morality of contract and of democratically accepted law. Motive => Community respect Type 6. Morality of individual principles of conscience. Motive => Self condemnation
"A moral principle is an obligatory or ideal rule of choice between legitimate alternatives, rather than a concrete prescription of action" referenced Dewey & Tufts 1936
Moral principles are principles of "conscience", and Type 6 children tend to define moral decisions in these terms.xx
