Piaget ’s two-stage model proposes a premoral period where

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

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. In his view‚ morality
