Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ariana's reasoning reflects the conventional level of moral development, where people make moral decisions based on societal norms and the expectations of others (in this case, her parents). She believes that turning in the wallet is the right thing to do because it is what a good person would do, and because she wants to be recognized and praised for her actions. This level is typically seen in early adolescence and beyond.
