Pilot study as part of the project: "Variances in Human Morality from a Cross-Cultural Perspective - An Inquiry on the Role of Self-Construal".

The Morality as Cooperation—Deviance Relevance Scale (MaC-DRS) is a new self-report instrument designed to capture the subjective relevance of different moral domains. The new scale is theoretically rooted in the pluralistic moral approaches of Moral Foundations Theory and Morality as Cooperation Theory, and will be examined in its empirical properties and research usability (i.e., validity and reliability) within this pilot study. For the purpose of empirical analysis, this pilot study aims to draw a sample of N ≥ 600 individuals (German students) via convenience sampling. Besides correlation and regression mainly the model-based approaches of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis (EFA and CFA) will be used to inspect data. Additionally, this study is the first to empirically test a factorial survey of moral deviance, a set of moral dilemma scenarios, and several other measures. The pilot study is part of an upcoming main study that will examine cross-cultural differences in moral domain endorsement. unknown other
