Kohlberg's theory of moral development, which includes six stages grouped into three levels, has found support for the first four stages across a variety of cultures. However, stages 5 and 6, which involve higher levels of moral reasoning, have not been consistently observed in all cultures. This suggests that while the earlier stages of moral development may be more universally applicable, the latter stages may be influenced by cultural factors.
