Kohlberg's Approach

Captions available

The idea

Kohlberg studied moral reasoning rather than moral behavior, presenting dilemmas and scoring the justification a person gave, not the answer itself.

In practice

Two students both say a man should steal a drug to save his wife, for different reasons.

Where people slip

The same answer can reflect different stages, so the stage lies in the reasoning.
