A middle-aged patient is very upset because a college-aged child is protesting corporate lobbying during a campus demonstration. Which of Kohlberg's stages of moral development is this patient exhibiting?
1. Adaptation
2. Assimilation
3. Conventional
4. Pre-conventional
3. Conventional
Explanation:
In the conventional stage, the individual focuses on doing one's duty to keep the social order, which the patient would prefer the child to do. Adaptation and assimilation are concepts of Piaget's cognitive theory, not Kohlberg's stages of moral development. The pre-conventional stage is characterized by avoidance of punishment.
