Citations for Scales included in the Measuring Morality Survey
Last updated 1-9-13
Note that (almost) all scales are either a) scales in development, or b) shortened versions of published scales. Any scale that was shortened was modified by the scholar who suggested its inclusion on the survey. Citations are typically to the full- versions of these scales. Thus in publications it may be appropriate to refer to these scales as “modified” versions of the scale to avoid confusion with the full versions.
Below are citations for each item on the survey. Blanks indicate items for which we currently have no citation information.
