AKohlberg
BPiaget
CVygotsky
DErikson
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Kohlberg
1. Heinz cannot afford a drug that could save his wife and breaks in to steal it.
2. Kohlberg used this story to draw out people's moral reasoning.
3. It is the best known dilemma in his research.
**Why not the others:** Piaget studied moral judgement through children's views of rules and games, not the Heinz story.
