Which of the following is the most basic stage of Kohlberg’s three-level model of moral development?

punishment and obedience orientation

The most basic stage of Kohlberg’s three-level model of moral development is the pre-conventional stage. In this stage, individuals make moral decisions based on what is socially acceptable or what will result in punishment or reward. Their moral reasoning is focused on self-interest and obedience to authority, and they tend to view rules as fixed and absolute. However, their moral reasoning is limited to external factors and lacks consideration of internal values or broader societal norms. This stage is typically observed in children between the ages of 4 and 10.
