In Kohlberg’s Moral Development theory, an individual who reaches level II (conventional thought) is expected to exhibit:

3. Personal internalization of other’s expectations
4. Self-chosen ethical principles, universality, and impartiality

ANSWER

ANS: 3
At level II—conventional thought, the person sees moral reasoning based on his or her own per-sonal internalization of societal and others’ expectations. In stage 1, the child’s response to a moral dilemma is in terms of absolute obedience to authority and rules. At level I—preconventional thought—the person reflects on moral reasoning based on personal gain. Ac-cording to Kohlberg, stage 6 is when a person has self-chosen ethical principles, universality, and impartiality.
