Moral foundations theory is a social psychological theory intended to explain the origins of and variation in human moral reasoning on the basis of innate, modular foundations. It was first proposed by psychologist Jonathan Haidt in his book The Righteous Mind.
The five foundations are:
- Care: cherishing and protecting others; opposite of harm
- Fairness or proportionality: rendering justice according to shared rules; opposite of cheating
- Loyalty or ingroup: standing with your group, family, nation; opposite of betrayal
- Authority or respect: submitting to tradition and legitimate authority; opposite of subversion
- Sanctity or purity: abhorrence for disgusting things, foods, actions; opposite of degradation.
Learn how much you value each of these moral foundations by completing this Moral Foundations Questionnaire. First you need to register. If you're not yet 18, please fudge your birthdate so that you can take the survey. The registration process will ask you quite a few questions about your religious and political beliefs. Please take your time and think carefully about these questions, doing your best to understand and answer them. Remember, you are contributing to scientific research!
After registering, click on the link at the top/center in blue that says Explore Your Morals. The second study listed is the Moral Foundations Questionnaire. Click where it says Take Study to the right.
Once again, be deliberate and thoughtful while considering the questions in the survey.
When you finish, read the information on the results page and see your results chart. Right-click that image to save it as a .png image file. Then submit your image file here.
See the example below (which are my results, by the way).
