Lawrence Kohlberg identified six levels of moral development. This simple hierarchy identifies the six reasons people are motivated to behave in certain ways.
Level 1: I do not want to get in trouble.
Level 2: I want a reward.
Level 3: I want to please someone.
Level 4: I always follow the rules.
Level 5: I am considerate of other people.
Level 6: I have a personal code of behavior.
What level are you on? Do you fluctuate between levels? Please comment!
