In Gilligan's model, the most developed moral position is centred on:

1. Gilligan described three positions in a morality of care. 2. The first, a survival orientation, considers only one's own needs. 3. The second, conventional care, considers others' needs but leaves out one's own (self-sacrifice). 4. The most developed, integrated care, coordinates one's own needs with those of others, so the good choice includes everyone, oneself too. **Why not the others:** Sacrificing one's own needs describes the middle position (goodness as self-sacrifice), the most common trap; putting one's own needs first is the survival position; obeying laws is Kohlberg's Stage 4, not part of Gilligan's model. _Source: Seifert and Sutton, Educational Psychology, 2nd ed.
