Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development is structured around stages that describe how individuals reason about moral issues.
Recall that Kohlberg proposed a sequence of stages grouped into three main levels: Pre-conventional, Conventional, and Post-conventional morality.
Each of these levels contains two distinct stages, making a total number of stages to identify.
Count the stages within each level: 2 stages in Pre-conventional, 2 stages in Conventional, and 2 stages in Post-conventional.
Sum these stages to find the total number of distinct stages Kohlberg proposed, which leads to the final answer.
