What stage of Kohlberg's moral development does Brad's decision represent?a. conventional postconventional.b. preoperational preconventional.c. integrity vs dishonesty.

Answer 1

Preoperational preconventional.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kohlberg's explains the different stages of moral development. Three different stages of moral development are pre conventional, conventional and post conventional.

Pre conventional stages are mostly seen in the children.The morality of the action can be directly judged by the direct consequences. Brad decided to steal some CD's but later think that it might harm his parents. Here, the pre conventional stage has been shown as Brad is a child and his action is the direct consequences that has been judged.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).
