According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory, "Performing an act and doing something because others approves it", represents _________ stage of morality.

Kohlberg's conventional level of moral development includes Stage 3 (Good Boy/Good Girl orientation) where moral decisions are based on gaining approval from others and maintaining good interpersonal relationships. At this stage, individuals act in ways that please or are approved by others. The pre-conventional level focuses on punishment/reward and self-interest, while the post-conventional level involves abstract principles like social contracts and universal ethical principles. Seeking others' approval clearly characterizes conventional morality.
