According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, within the Conventional Level, an adolescent in the 'Good Boy/Good Girl Orientation' and the 'Law and Order Orientation' is primarily guided by which psychological motivation or social perspective?

Understanding Kohlberg's Conventional Level

According to Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the Conventional Level typically emerges in early adolescence and is characterized by an adherence to social rules and the expectations of society.

• Good Boy/Good Girl Orientation (Stage 3): The individual focuses on living up to social expectations and roles, seeking approval ('social approval') and being regarded as a 'good' person.
• Law and Order Orientation (Stage 4): The individual emphasizes obeying laws, respecting authority, and performing one's social duties to maintain social order.

Therefore, option B accurately captures the core psychological motivations of these specific stages within the conventional level.
