morality of cooperation

the morality of children ages 10 to 11, characterized by the perception that rules are social conventions that can be challenged and modified when concerned parties agree. The child willingly accepts rules and adheres to them on the basis of reason and not on the basis of fear or in the spirit of unquestioning obedience. Compare morality of constraint. [proposed by Jean Piaget]
