Explanation:

Lawrence Kohlberg was an American psychologist who proposed a theory of children's moral development. He suggests there are three levels of morality, each containing two stages; as explained below.

                      Stage 1: Obedience and Punishment Orientation

                                     - Obeys rules to avoid trouble/punishment.

                      Stage 2: Instrumental Orientation

                                     - Satisfying self's needs comes first and foremost

                      Stage 3: Good Boy - Nice Girl Orientation

                                      - Looks for approval of others

                      Stage 4: Law-and-Order Orientation

                                      - Obeys the authority to maintain social order

                       Stage 5: Social Contract Orientation

                                      - Laws are perceived as rational and functional

                       Stage 6: Universal Ethical Principles

                                      - Self conscience and personal ethical principles
