Document Summary
Observational learning: children learn vis models; their behaviours will mimic those of an authority figure. Rule-governed behaviour: keep you from doing things. Presented hypothetical moral dilemmas: asked subjects to make a judgement, explain their reasons for their decision. Developmental level determined by quality/complexity of reasoning: decision (right or wrong) is not important, reasoning for the decision is. Preconventional (stages 1&2: right is based upon reward or punishment, stage 1 focus on simple outcome (punishment, stage 2 focus on egocentric needs/wants (reinforcement) Conventional (stages 3&4: right is what agrees with rational rules and authority, stage 3 fo(cid:272)us o(cid:374) (cid:272)o(cid:374)fo(cid:396)(cid:373)it(cid:455) (cid:894)othe(cid:396)s" pe(cid:396)(cid:272)eptio(cid:374)s(cid:895, stage 4 focus on compliance (rule of law) Postconventional (stages 5&6: right is derived from universal principles, stage 5 circumstantial accommodation/exception, stage 6 inherent universal rights and freedoms. Capacity to reason (theoretical) does not necessarily predict behaviours (action) Surface behaviours may be identical, but motive will vary: the unattended wallet, cheating/deception in games, civil protest.
