    Lawrence Kohlberg developed the theory of six stages of moral development based on Piaget's work. [1] The stages are divided into three levels - preconventional, conventional, and post-conventional. [2] At the preconventional level, reasoning is based on consequences, while at the conventional level it is based on social norms and laws. [3] The post-conventional level involves reasoning based on universal ethical principles and justice.
