Kohlberg's theory describes three broad levels of moral reasoning, with the middle level corresponding to conventional morality—where judgments are based on social norms, expectations, and the desire to fit in and maintain social order. Most adults reason at this conventional level, typically around stages 3 or 4, rather than at the lower preconventional level or the higher postconventional level. Therefore, the statement is true because it reflects the commonly observed pattern that the majority of adults operate within the middle range of moral reasoning. It’s worth noting that not everyone advances to the highest level, and some may function at lower levels or still rely on conventional norms in certain situations.
