Drs Kreb and Denton Have Criticized Kohlberg's Theory of Moral

Question 593

Multiple Choice

Drs. Kreb and Denton have criticized Kohlberg's theory of moral development, pointing out that the most important limitation of the theory is that:


A) because of the process of pruning during adolescence, the vast majority of young people do not have enough white matter in the prefrontal cortex to develop the capacity for moral reasoning.
B) it is biased by its emphasis on the ethic of care and responsibility rather than the ethic of individual rights and justice.
C) moral reasoning doesn't always predict moral behavior; people don't necessarily respond to real-life dilemmas in the same way that they do to hypothetical dilemmas that are used to test moral reasoning.
D) moral reasoning is not operationally defined, and it is therefore difficult to conduct empirical research on the topic.
