At the preconventional level of Kohlberg, Stage 2: It is based on individualism. The interests of the authority and their own are dissociated, and it is recognized that all individuals have interests that may not coincide.

The right thing to do at this stage is to follow the norm only when it benefits someone, act in favor of one's own interests and let others do it too.

The answer is: True.

The correct answer for this statement would be TRUE. It is true that the primary objective in Kohlberg's pre- conventional level is to fulfill one's own needs and wants. According to Lawrence Kohlberg, there are three stages of moral development and these are pre-conventional, conventional and post conventional morality. In the pre-conventional morality, this is when behavior is driven to avoid punishment and behavior driven by self-interest and rewards. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for.
