Carol Gilligan challenged some of the findings of the value development model of Lawrence Kohlberg. Explain the basis for the challenge and identify how each theorist differs in regard to the highest level of development

Dr. Gilligan challenged the Kohlberg model on the basis that the work was biased toward the answers provided by young boys. In the original work, young women were perceived to not develop as readily into the higher stages of value development. Dr. Gilligan proposed a separate value development pathway for women, which resulted in a separate higher value orientation. Instead of equality and social justice, women's highest value was personal responsibility.
