In Kohlberg's framework, which level is defined by good interpersonal relationships and maintaining the social order?

• A. Kohlberg's Level One
• B. Piaget's Stages
• C. Kohlberg's Level Two
• D. Erikson's Psychosocial Theory

Answer: (C)

Conventional morality centers on following social norms and keeping society running smoothly. At this level, people judge actions by how they affect relationships and by whether they uphold laws and expectations. The idea of having good interpersonal relationships captures the desire to be seen as a “good person” by others, while maintaining the social order reflects following rules and authorities to preserve social functioning. Together, these describe Level Two in Kohlberg's framework. The other options refer to different theories or a different level: Level One is about self-interest and avoiding punishment, Piaget’s stages relate to cognitive development, and Erikson’s theory covers psychosocial tasks throughout life.
