Document Summary
Stages of logical reasoning/intelligence (piaget): (after learning to speak)- intuitive stage, concrete operational (age 7), and then formal operational (adolescence) Most people are in at least partial formal operational stage, if they"re fully in concrete their limited to preconventional stage 1 and 2 of morals. If low level formal, stage 3 and 4 of morals. You can be at a higher logical stage than moral but never the opposite. After logical development comes social perception and roletaking, which is easier than judging right or wrong (morals). Vertical sequence for moral stages 1-6 (pre-conventional to post-conventional), and horizontal sequence from logic, to social perception, to moral development. Pre-conventional is doing what you want (rules external to self), conventional is doing what society wants (rules internalized with self), and post-conventional is doing what you think is morally right. (differentiating between rules and self) Selman defines role-taking as the way individuals differentiate their perspective with others".
