Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ-30), ready to run

A 30-item measure of the five moral foundations identified in Moral Foundations Theory: Care/Harm, Fairness/Reciprocity, Loyalty/Betrayal (Ingroup), Authority/Subversion (Respect), and Sanctity/Purity. The form uses two item types, relevance judgments (Part 1) and agreement with moral statements (Part 2), with three of each per foundation.

30 items · 5 sections · 6-point response scale (relevance: Not at all relevant → Extremely relevant; judgment: Strongly disagree → Strongly agree)
