Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Gilligan's theory, an adult with a post-conventional morality perspective would choose not to steal because they have an internalized sense of morality and care about the potential harm that their actions could cause to others. They prioritize the interconnectedness and well-being of individuals and the community over their own individual interests. Therefore, Selena would most likely explain that she chose not to steal because stealing is wrong and because she would care about bringing harm to the shop owner.
