Karla can speed on a certain stretch of the interstate without being ticketed, yet she decides not to speed because it is unlawful. Karla's reasoning reflects ________ reasoning
A) preconventional
B) conventional
C) postconventional
D) formal conventional
Answer: B
Rationale: With conventional morality, social conventions and laws are used to determine whether a behavior is right or wrong. People with a postconventional moral reasoning view laws as relative and determine right and wrong based on more abstract principles. Karla can speed without getting a ticket, so she appears not to be in the preconventional stage of moral development, which is characterized by avoiding punishment and seeking reward.
