Based on Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, American psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg (1927-1987) developed his own theory of moral development in children. Kohlberg believed that people progressed in their moral reasoning (i.e., in their bases for ethical behavior) through a series of stages. According to Kohlberg’s theory of moral development, there are 6 stages of moral development, known as Kohlberg’s stages of moral development. Kohlberg classified their moral reasoning into three levels, each of which contains two distinct substages.
