According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory on moral development, moral decisions at the preconventional level are made in response to:

a. finding approval c. loyalty to others
b. respect for authority d. threats of punishment


D
Lawrence Kohlberg (1971) identified a moral development process that progresses throughout various levels. At the first, or preconventional level, morals are all about rules imposed by some authority. Moral decisions are made at this point to some threat of punishment. A desire to being a good person and wanting approval from others comes at the conventional level. At the postconventional level a person strives for a moral code beyond merely the respect for authority.
