Development of an individual's moral reasoning and associated behaviors was addressed by Kohlberg. He formulated a theory of moral development that described changes in thinking about moral judgments and reflected societal norms and values. The basic premise of his theory is that when a conflict occurs among any of several universal values, such as punishment, truth, law, and justice, the moral choice that must be made and justified requires cognitive capabilities. According to Erikson's psychosocial theory, individuals must master and resolve, to some extent, a core conflict or crisis during each stage. Freud's psychoanalytic theory emphasizes the importance of unconscious motivation and early childhood experiences in influencing behavior. Piaget's theory of cognitive development depicts age-related, sequential stages through which all children must progress to learn to think, reason, and exercise judgment.
