Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Judgment: A Constructive Critique
Gibbs, John C.
Harvard Educational Review, 47, 1, 43-61, 77
Distinguishes between naturalistic and existential themes in modern psychology and outlines the empirical criteria that identify a naturalistic or Piagetian sequence. Argues that the first four stages of Kohlberg's typology meet the criteria for a naturalistic developmental sequence but the higher stages instead appear to be existential or reflective extensions of earlier stages.
