'Lawrence Kohlberg’s Research\r'

'It is true that the look for of Lawrence Kohlberg was focused around the concept of chaste reasoning, which too can be called object lesson development (Answer 1). Lawrence Kohlberg was a known American specialist in psychiatry, who was interested in problems of clean-living development: honourable judgments and moral choices. He is famous for his long-term experiments with young children (some of them lasted more(prenominal) than 20 years), during which Kohlberg studied the development of moral judgments and moral choices of the children. As a result, in 1981the scheme of moral development was created.\r\nAccording to the findings of the specialist, there are cardinal stages of moral development, which can be grouped into three different levels: (1) pre- stuffy morality, which includes two sub-stages: (a) punishment-obedience predilection, and (b) instrumental relativist orientation; (2) conventional morality, which includes two sub-stages: (a) good boy-good girl orienta tion, and (b) instrumental relativist orientation; and (3) post-conventional morality, which includes the following sub-stages: (a) social contract orientation, and (b) universal honest principle orientation (Wong, 2000).\r\nTherefore, during the process of moral development, all undivided gradually passes through all these six-spot stages. At that Kohlberg was underlining that not every adult individual can reach the highest stage in his/her moral development. Besides, not every time real sort of an individual was correspondent to the achieved stage of moral development. This theory was criticized and the opponents of Kohlberg’s scientific conclusions pointed on several drawbacks of this research. In particular, the fact that all the experiments were made with male children is considered to be a serious disadvantage.\r\nReferences\r\nWong, A. S. (2000, September).
