Question

During a test, Zoe's teacher tells him and his classmates that if she catches them cheating, she would give them poor grades. Hence, Zoe refuses to cheat during the test though his classmates cheat when the teacher steps outside the room. In the context of Kohlberg's stages of moral development, Zoe is at the _____ of moral development in this scenario.
A) punishment and obedience stage
B) law and order stage
C) instrumental exchange stage
D) "good boy, nice girl" stage

Answer 1

Answer:punishment and obedience stage

Explanation:

This is the stage where the individual fears the concequences of their action and because of that fear they will do anything in their power to avoid such action.

For a child in this stage they don't do somethings not because they understand that it is wrong action which should not be done but it is mostly because they fear the consequences of that action .

Zoe would probably like to cheat in order to get good marks however because now she knows the result of cheating will be bad on her , she is then doing all that is in her power to avoid cheating .
