Answer:
Kohlberg and his team of interviewers presented the scenarios to each boy, one at a time and asked if the boy thought the character had done the right thing. This is one of the scenarios Kohlberg used in his interviews: Heinz Steals the Drug A woman was dying of a special kind of cancer. For example, the interviewer would ask if Heinz had a right to steal the drug and what sentence the judge should give him once he was caught. For example, if a parent asks a child to do a chore, the child asks "What's in it for me?" and the parent motivates the child by giving them an allowance. They continue to accept the rules of authority figures but now believe that this will support positive relationships and order in society. Like most of us, Joe has been taught that "nice kids" tell the truth, so if he's at Stage 3 of moral development, he will tell the store owner about Kim's theft in order to win the store owner's approval. They see rules as being the same for everyone, and they think it is important and valuable to do what one is "supposed" to do. The Stage 6 thinker acts because they believe it is morally right to do so, in spite of punishment, their own self-interest, or the law. However, if he believes that loyalty to one's friends is a more important moral obligation than telling the truth, he will lie and cover up what Kim did. Kohlberg found that people's ways of making decisions tend to change over their lifetime, and that a person will rarely go backwards through the levels of moral development.
