A) autonomous morality
B) heteronomous morality
C) social-system morality
D) punishment and obedience morality

Heteronomous Morality

The first stage of moral development in Piaget’s theory, occurring from 4 to 7 years of age. Justice and rules are conceived of as unchangeable properties of the world, beyond the control of people.

Immanent Justice

The belief, often held by children, that moral behavior is immediately rewarded and immoral behavior is immediately punished.

Autonomous Morality

The second stage of moral development in Piaget’s theory, displayed by older children (about 10 years of age and older). The child becomes aware that rules and laws are created by people and that, in judging an action, one should consider the actor’s intentions as well as the consequences.
