5 Research Evidence for and against Kohlberg’s Theory

-^ Cross-cultural evidence^ – Some support for the six stages – Cross-cultural differences in reasoning, -^ East Asians reach later stages sooner than Western adolescents -^ In some studies, only 10% of people reach stages 5 & 6(level 3), even at age 30+ -^ Performance on dilemmas doesn’t predict actualbehavior (e.g., cheating) 6

Evaluation of Kohlberg’s Theory

-^ Emotional aspect is still ignored -^ What about the development of empathy & altruism? -^ Cultural differences are not completely accounted for -^ Too much emphasis on moral thought , not enough on moral behavior . -^ Gender bias!^ – Kohlberg’s theory is based on a male norm that puts abstractprinciples above relationships and concern for others – Gilligan: Males have a “justice perspective” while females havea “care perspective” of morality
