Siblings Jacob and Lana love playing video games, but they only own one gaming console. Their father tells them to be fair and take turns, but Jacob ignores his sister's requests to play. Jacob only lets his sister play when their father intervenes and punishes Jacob for not sharing. Jacob's behavior best fits which of Kohlberg's stages? 1. Preconventional Stage
2. Conventional Stage
3. Postconventional Stage
4. None of the above

1. Preconventional Stage

Explanation:

Based on the scenario being described it can be said that Jacob's behavior best fits with part 2 of the Pre-conventional Stage of Kohlberg's stages. This stage is when the individual interests shift towards the reward as opposed to the punishment when presented with a choice as the individual tries to secure the greatest benefit for their self-interest. Such as Jacob is doing by only allowing his sister to play when he knows his dad is not watching, as to not get in trouble and still continue playing himself.
