examine the moral judgments and moral development of children. He believed that children moved from considering punishment and other consequences to considering intentions and circumstances when attempting to resolve moral conflicts. What children believe about whether an action is right or wrong depends on their level of cognition (Miller‚ 2002). Freud believed that morality was encompassed in the superego.

Examples of higher-level moral reasoning that would not be scored as such by Kohlberg’s system include values related to communal
