- Abstract:
- The current study investigated factors that are believed to impact moral judgment in college students (N = 50). Religious orientation, cultural values, and high-school education were expected to be associated with differences among participants’ moral judgment scores. Participants completed four self-report questionnaires: a) an academic and demographic questionnaire; b) Francis’ (2007) New Indices of Religious Orientation; c) Triandis, Bontempo, and Villareal’s (1988) Individualism-Collectivism Scale; d) and Rest et al.’s (1979) Defining Issues Test. There was a significant relationship between participants’ quest (religion) scores and culture scores, which reflects an increase in collectivistic cultural values, as there is an increase in the tendency to question religious beliefs. No factors were found to be significantly related to moral judgment. Findings suggest that a larger sample size is needed for future morality research focused on relationships among moral judgment and the current study’s independent variables.
