PSYD22H3 Lecture Notes - Ethnocentrism
Document Summary
Hierarchial, non regressive (cannot move back) and cannot skip a stage. Must move from one to the next in order. The one that has been critique is the post conventional level. Assumption that you understand the laws of society and that there will be a series of moral principles that underlie conventions of society. Assess the laws based on own moral rules. It has implications for it when it comes to social change. He argues that commitment to these moral principles precedes societies laws (necessary but not sufficient) Just because you think that way does not mean that you are in that specific stage. We move into post because of formal operations from piaget but there needs to be specific life experiences to get there. Not all adults are at the post level. College moratorium: can help someone move to post level.
