alleryIn Piaget's heteronomous stage of morality, children see rules as:
AAgreements open to change
BFixed, set by authority
CMatters of personal choice
DUseful only when watched
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Fixed, set by authority
1. Heteronomous means under the rule of another; it covers about 6 to 10 years.
2. Children believe rules are handed down by authority figures.
3. They see rules as sacred and never to be altered.
**Why not the others:** Seeing rules as agreements that can change is the later autonomous stage.
