Life Stages And Human Development - Quiz

  • 2. 

    Lawrence Kohlberg studies demonstrate to the world of sociology and psychology that people develop: 

    • Moral reasoning through many stages.

    • Social responsibility through two stages.

    • A vocation at age 18.

    • When active in society.

    Correct Answer
    A. Moral reasoning through many stages.
    Explanation
    Lawrence Kohlberg's studies have shown that individuals go through various stages of moral reasoning development. This implies that people's ability to make ethical judgments and decisions progresses and evolves over time. Kohlberg's theory suggests that individuals start with a basic level of moral reasoning and gradually advance to higher stages, where they consider abstract principles and universal ethical values. This research has greatly contributed to our understanding of moral development and has had a significant impact on the fields of sociology and psychology.

    Daniel Levinson believed _____.

    • Individuals stopped developing at age 17.

    • True development only occurs during puberty

    • Development continues throughout adulthood

    • Both A and B.

    Correct Answer
    A. Development continues throughout adulthood
    Explanation
    Daniel Levinson believed that development continues throughout adulthood. He proposed a theory of adult development, suggesting that individuals go through various stages and transitions as they age. According to Levinson, these stages and transitions contribute to personal growth and development, allowing individuals to continue evolving and changing throughout their adult lives. This perspective challenges the notion that development only occurs during puberty or stops at a certain age, emphasizing the ongoing nature of human development.

    Carol Gilligan's studies focus on:

    • Middle aged men going through mid-life crisises.

    • Growth of women in society.

    • The resulting behaviour of interactions between children and animals.

    • How adult behaviour influences children.

    Correct Answer
    A. Growth of women in society.
    Explanation
    Carol Gilligan's studies focus on the growth of women in society. This means that she examines the development, progress, and empowerment of women within social, cultural, and political contexts. Her research likely explores issues such as gender equality, women's rights, and the challenges faced by women in various domains of life. By studying the growth of women in society, Gilligan aims to shed light on the experiences, struggles, and achievements of women, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and inclusive society.

    Lawrence Kohlberg’s theory is composed of three stages. The first stage is known as the Pre-Conventional Stage. It is made up of:

    • 1. Good boy/girl 2. Principled Conscience

    • 1. Law and Order 2. Social Contract

    • 1. Obedience and Punishment 2. Individualism, Instrumentalism, and Exchange

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. 1. Obedience and Punishment 2. Individualism, Instrumentalism, and Exchange
    Explanation
    Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development consists of three stages, with the first stage being the Pre-Conventional Stage. This stage is characterized by two levels of moral reasoning. The first level, Obedience and Punishment, is focused on avoiding punishment and obedience to authority. The second level, Individualism, Instrumentalism, and Exchange, involves making decisions based on self-interest and the potential for personal gain. Therefore, the correct answer is 1. Obedience and Punishment and 2. Individualism, Instrumentalism, and Exchange, as they accurately represent the stages of moral development in Kohlberg's theory.

    Carol Gilligan has three stages in moral development. The second stage deals with:

    • Women's concern with their family life.

    • Women in the workplace and how they interact with co-workers.

    • Selfish orientation of women.

    • How women feel it is wrong to act in their own interests

    Correct Answer
    A. How women feel it is wrong to act in their own interests
    Explanation
    The correct answer is how women feel it is wrong to act in their own interests. This aligns with Carol Gilligan's theory of moral development, which suggests that women tend to prioritize the needs and interests of others over their own. This stage reflects a selfless orientation where women may feel guilty or wrong for prioritizing their own desires or needs. It highlights the societal expectations and gender roles that influence women's moral development.
