Explanation:

Identify the core psychological framework

The question asks to distinguish between components of moral development, specifically referencing what is "determined by motivation and the rewards and incentives to act in a specific moral way." This distinction is a central tenet of Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory of moral development, which distinguishes between moral competence (the ability to produce moral behaviors) and moral performance (the actual enactment of those behaviors in specific situations).

Analyze the definition of moral performance

According to social cognitive theory, moral competence includes what individuals are capable of doing, their skills, their cognitive capabilities, and their awareness of moral rules. In contrast, moral performance is determined by the specific motivators, rewards, and incentives present at the time of action. Therefore, the behavior itself—the performance—is driven by situational incentives and motivation.

• "...ence" corresponds to "Moral competence"

Based on the theoretical definition, the blank is filled by "Moral performance" (ending in "...mance").
