Such emotion includes shame, guilt, embarrassment, and pride; shame is correlated with the disapproval by one's peers, guilt is correlated with the disapproval of oneself, embarrassment is feeling disgraced while in the public eye, and pride is a feeling generally brought about by a positive opinion of oneself when admired by ...
The theory holds that moral reasoning, a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for ethical behavior, [4] has six developmental stages, each more adequate at responding to moral dilemmas than its predecessor. [5] Kohlberg followed the development of moral judgment far beyond the ages studied earlier by Piaget, who also claimed that logic and ...
Haidt's initial field work in Brazil and Philadelphia in 1989, [16] and Odisha, India in 1993, showed that moralizing indeed varies among cultures, but less than by social class (e.g. education) and age. Working-class Brazilian children were more likely to consider both taboo violations and infliction of harm to be morally wrong, and ...

The increasing sophistication of justice-based reasoning was taken as a sign of development. Moral cognitive development, in turn, was assumed to be a necessary (but not sufficient) condition for moral action. [34] But researchers using the Kohlberg model found a gap between what people said was most moral and actions they took.
A moral hierarchy is a hierarchy by which actions are ranked by their morality, with respect to a moral code. It also refers to a relationship – such as teacher/pupil or guru /disciple – in which one party is taken to have greater moral awareness than the other; [ 1 ] or to the beneficial hierarchy of parent/child or doctor/patient.
Expanding on Piaget's work, Lawrence Kohlberg determined that the process of moral development was principally concerned with justice, and that it continued throughout the individual's lifetime. [18] He suggested three levels of moral reasoning; pre-conventional moral reasoning, conventional moral reasoning, and post-conventional moral reasoning.
The social cognitive theory of morality attempts to explain how moral thinking, in interaction with other psychosocial determinants, govern individual moral conduct. Social cognitive theory adopts an "interactionist" [1] perspective to the development of moral behavior. Personal factors of the individual, such as individual moral thought ...
