    During the moral realism stage, at what age does Piaget believe an individual is exhibiting heteronomous thinking?

    • 0-5 years

    • 5-10 years

    • 10-15 years

    • Adulthood

    Correct Answer
    A. 5-10 years
    Explanation
    Piaget believes that during the moral realism stage, an individual exhibits heteronomous thinking between the ages of 5-10 years. This means that children in this age range tend to view rules as fixed and unchangeable, believing that they are imposed by authority figures and must be followed without question. They also have a strong sense of justice and punishment for rule-breaking. This stage is characterized by a lack of understanding of the perspectives and intentions of others, as well as a limited ability to consider different viewpoints.

Individuals at this level make moral decisions based on their own self-interest and the potential consequences of their actions.

    The lack of moral development can lead to all of the following EXCEPT:

    • Inability to make new friends

    • Academic issues

    • Inability to get a job

    • Alcohol and drug problems

    Correct Answer
    A. Inability to get a job
    Explanation
    The lack of moral development can lead to various negative consequences, such as an inability to make new friends, academic issues, and alcohol and drug problems. However, it is unlikely to directly result in an inability to get a job. While moral development is important for ethical decision-making and behavior, job opportunities are typically determined by factors such as skills, qualifications, and experience. Therefore, although a lack of moral development may indirectly affect job prospects by impacting interpersonal relationships or reputation, it is not the sole determining factor.
