Kholberg’s Moral Development
Visit the website: www.haverford.edu/psych/ddavis/p109g/kohlberg.dilemmas.html, which presents four
moral dilemmas and a series of questions. Select the second dilemma, answer the questions, and evaluate
your level of moral reasoning on Kholberg’s scale based on your responses. Include specific examples to
justify your rating.
Next, select a moral dilemma and ask a second adult (friend, roommate, or family member) to read it and
respond to the questions. You should then classify that individual’s level of moral reasoning. You should
not have your second person be anyone under the age of 18.
Finally, reflect on the activity. Do they think these moral dilemmas accurately assess moral reasoning?
Why or why not? Reflect on your own moral code. Where did you learn this? What influences determined your moral reasoning?
