<strong>Measures</strong> <strong>Sociodemographic data. </strong>. <br> <em><strong>Mechanisms of Moral Disengagement-</strong></em><strong>MMDS </strong>(Bandura et al. 1996)<strong>. </strong>The scale was developed in order to evaluate the <em>moral disengagement </em>construct and to analyse how it affects violent and transgressive behaviour, either directly or indirectly. The original instrument (Rubio-Garay et al., 2017) consists of 32 items with a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Totally disagree) (5 = Totally agree). The instrument is composed of four-item subscales, each of which corresponds to eight moral disengagement mechanisms. Moral justification, Euphemistic labelling, Advantageous comparison, Displacement of responsibility, Diffusion of responsibility, Distortion of consequences, Attribution of blame, Dehumanisation. <br> <strong>Barratt Impulsiveness Scale,</strong> (Patton, Stanford &amp; Barratt, 1995). The BIS-11 is composed of 30 items with Likert-type questions in which participants report the frequency of different impulsive behaviors (from 1 rarely or never to 4 often or always). It measures impulsiveness and three primary factors have been identified: Cognitive, motor and non-planned impulsiveness. A previous systematic review suggested a cutoff score over 74 (global impulsiveness) in psychological studies (Stanford et al., 2009). <br> <strong>Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale </strong>(Rosenberg, 1965). A 10-item scale that measures global self-worth by measuring both positive and negative feelings about the self. The scale is believed to be uni-dimensional. All items are answered using a 4-point Likert scale format ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. <br> <br> <strong>Beck Anxiety Inventory</strong> (Beck et al., 1988). It consists of 21 items with a Likert scale ranging from 0 to 3 and raw scores ranging from 0 to 63. It measures the severity of an anxiety in adults and adolescents. Because the items in the BAI describe the emotional, physiological, and cognitive symptoms of anxiety but not depression, it can discriminate anxiety from depression.
