For each situation, decide in which stage of Kohlberg’s theory the person is responding. Indicate the level AND stage, and the reason for your response. Explain your rationale for choosing a particular stage. Tamara has five tests in one day. She is a good student but did not have time to study for her French test. She knows the person who sits next to her in French class is also a good student. This girl has copied from Tamara on occasion. Tamara decides to look at the other girl’s test for the questions she doesn’t know. Besides, thinks Tamara, ‘I never should have five tests in one day anyway.” Scott thought about leaving school early and going to a baseball game. He stayed in school because he was afraid of getting caught. Juanita’s friends were at the mall, and someone suggested they do a little shoplifting just to see if they could get away with it. Juanita wouldn’t participate and said stealing is wrong.
