Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Kohlberg's research found that at the age of 10, boys were more likely to be transitioning from Stage 2 to Stage 3 in their moral reasoning, rather than reasoning purely at Stages 1 and 2. Stage 1 is about obedience and punishment orientation, and Stage 2 is about individualism and exchange. By age 10, many children begin to show reasoning reflective of Stage 3, which focuses on interpersonal relationships and conformity to social rules.
