39
Q

Teaching Methods and Strategies for those in the Generativity v Stagnation Level?

A
  • focusing on maintaining independence (v. important) and re-establishing normal life patterns (we want to help them return to normal life)
  • assess potential sources of stress due to midlife crisis issues
  • provide information to coincide with life concerns and problems (ex: a midlife crisis may have occurred now and they quit and are trying new, which causes stress, so be applicable)
40
Q

47

Realization that individuals are separate entities from society - so morals internalized morals

fairly rare

49
Q

Post conventional stage: Stage 5

A
  • Social contract drives morals

50
Q

Post conventional stage: Stage 6

A
  • Universal ethical principles drive morals
  • moral reasoning is based on abstract reasoning using universal ethical principles, leading to laws being valid only if they are just and carried in a way that disobeys injustice
