Detailed explanation-1: -Piaget’s Theory He proposed that between the ages of 5-9 years old, children develop moral realism; that is, they believe that morality is conducted by authority figures and breaking rules will lead to punishment.
Detailed explanation-2: -Piaget’s Theory of Moral Development described two stages of moral development: heteronomous morality and autonomous morality.
Detailed explanation-3: -As with Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, Kohlberg believed his stages to be universal. Despite differences in cultures with regard to manners and morals, Kohlberg still believed in the universality of his stages because they referred to general patterns of thinking rather than to specific cultural ideals.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cognitive in nature, Kohlberg’s theory focuses on the thinking process that occurs when one decides whether a behaviour is right or wrong. Thus, the theoretical emphasis is on how one decides to respond to a moral dilemma, not what one decides or what one actually does.
