Abstract

According to Kohlberg, moral rationality development is the key of whether you are a moral person, but new researches have found that in most cases there is no connection between moral cognitive development stage and moral behavior. Many people hold the view that they make the moral decisions based on their response, instinct or conscience, but not on their careful consideration of the moral situation.
