The Sequentiality of Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development.

Walker, Lawrence J.

Child Development, v53 n5 p1330-36 Oct 1982

Kohlberg's claim that moral development proceeds through an invariant sequence of stages was experimentally examined by attempting to induce regression and stage skipping in fifth- through seventh-grade children. Results supported Kohlberg's claim but also indicated that situations two stages above development were effective in inducing development. (Author/MP)
