Ch.14: Moral Development

Moral Judgment:

Morality in certain actions is no obvious, hence reasoning is crucial

Piaget’s Theory of Moral Judgment:

  • Heteronomous Morality: [age < 7]. Right and wrong as basis to determine consequences. Rules are perceived as real and unchangeable
  • Transitional Period: [7-10 years old]. Increased active role in reasoning of right or wrong. Peer interaction is very influential
  • Autonomous Morality: [11-12 years old]. Consider motives and intentions when assessing behaviour. No longer blindly accepting rules

Kohlberg’s Theory:

  • Theory of Moral Judgment (Kohlberg): describes stages that are discontinuous and hierarchical

    • Level 1: Preconventional level: self-centred, focusing on getting rewarded and avoiding punishment

      • Phase 1: punishment and obedience orientation
      • Phase 2: Instrumental and exchange orientation
    • Level 2: Conventional Level: influenced by social relationships. Wish to comply with social rights and laws
      • Phase 3: Mutual interpersonal expectations and conform with them
      • Phase 4: Social system and perceived idea of that system
    • Level 3: Post-conventional/Principled Level: holding ideals and moral principles
      • Phase 5: Social contracts and individual rights orientation
      • Phase 6: Universal ethical principles

Social Domain Theory f Moral Development:

  • Moral Domain: social knowledge related to wrong, fair and justice
  • Socio-conventional Domain: social knowledge related to regulations that ensure social coordination, and organization in society (e.g. dress code,…)
  • Personal Domain: social knowledge related to actions preferences of individual as central drive.

Conscience:

Internal control mechanism that increases ability to conform to accepted behavioue

  • Limits: antisocial or destructive behaviour
  • Promotes: compliance with rules and prosocial behaviour (e.g. guilt)
  • Influenced by temperament and culture
