Kohlberg's theory of moral development is categorized under which CAP domain?

• A. Cognitive, moral
• B. Affective, moral
• C. Affective, social
• D. Psychomotor, moral

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is how moral development is categorized within the CAP framework. Kohlberg’s theory focuses on how people internalize moral values and cultivate moral motivation—how they feel about right and wrong and what guides their choices. That focus on values, attitudes, and conscience places it in the affective domain, which covers growth in feelings, attitudes, and moral dispositions that influence behavior. It isn’t about performing physical skills (psychomotor) and it isn’t just about recalling or understanding information (pure cognitive). So moral development aligns with the affective, moral domain.
