Question

according to kohlberg, decisions at the postconventional level of moral reasoning are based on: social approval. external consequences. personal gain. ethical principles.

Explanation:

Kohlberg's post - conventional level of moral reasoning is the highest level. At this level, individuals move beyond the perspective of their own society. They define moral values and principles in abstract terms, such as justice, dignity, and equality. Decisions are based on internalized ethical principles rather than social approval (which is more in the conventional level), external consequences (pre - conventional), or personal gain (pre - conventional).

Answer:

ethical principles.
