Study Notes
Stages of Moral Development
- Moral development refers to the process whereby an individual forms a progressive sense of what is right and wrong, proper and improper.
- Parents and institutions of learning and socializing play a significant role in shaping moral development.
Stage 1: Obedience-Punishment Orientation Stage
- Aim: to avoid pain and punishment.
- Example: behaving in class during elementary grade because if you don't, the teacher will give you punishment.
Stage 2: Pleasure Orientation Stage
- Aim: to increase pleasure.
- Example: doing what is right because there is something in return for you, like getting money from your parents.
Stage 3: Good Boy/Good Girl Orientation Stage
- Aim: to do what is right because you want others to see you as a good person.
- Example: wanting to be seen as a good person in the eyes of others.
Stage 4: Law and Order Orientation Stage
- Aim: to do what is right because this is what the law requires you to do.
- Example: not stealing because you do not want to break the law.
Stage 5: Social Contract Orientation Stage
- Aim: to do what is right because you know that this is the right thing to do and this is what you want others to do too.
- Example: not singing on the videoke until after curfew hours because others want to rest, expecting that they will also do this when they have occasions at home.
Stage 6: Conscience Orientation Stage
- Aim: to do what is right and what is good because this is what your conscience dictates you to do.
- Example: doing what is right because your conscience tells you it is the right thing to do.
Examples of Moral Development in Real-Life Situations
