Mapping the Moral Domain in Croatia: Validation of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire and it’s Relation to Personality and Emic Morality Dimensions

Following the popularity of the Moral Foundations Theory, we examined the construct validity of the most widely used tool for accessing the moral dimensions proposed by this theory – The Moral Foundations Questionnaire. The instrument aimed initially at measuring five dimensions - Harm/Care, Fairness/Reciprocity, Ingroup/Loyalty, Authority/Respect, and Purity/Sanctity, was supplemented with new items aiming at the new potential foundation of Liberty/Oppression. We applied the six-dimensional MFQ on a sample of 649 students (self-ratings) and 649 their close acquaintances (peer-ratings) in Croatia. Factor analysis yielded a two-factor structure consisting of an individualizing factor and a binding factor, suggesting that two-factor solution may be the most acceptable. We discuss the relations between MFQ dimensions, Big-Five factors and morality dimensions derived from the natural language
