Sažetak
Integrating the model of moral cognition and moral personality, Blasi developed a threecomponent model of moral action that includes moral self (salience of moral values), own responsibility (involvement of the moral self in decision-making) and self-consistency or moral integrity (decision- making in accordance with one's own moral values). Starting from this model, the aim of this research was to examine some psychometric features of the newly developed Moral Identity Questionnaire (MIQ). MIQ includes 63 short moral dilemmas that consist of two contrasted moral values (loyalty, freedom, concern for others, truth, respect, equality, responsibility) within the context of different complexity (light, medium, difficult) with regard to the outcome of the decision. The participant's task was to choose between two conflicted values and assess the degree of agreement with it. The study was conducted on a sample of 520 participants (388 women and 132 men), with an average age of 24.4 year (SD = 8.46). Three questionnaires were applied: MIQ, Questionnaire of Comparing Moral Values in Pairs (participants should choose the one value that is more important to him from each pair of the seven values) and Questionnaire of some sociodemographic data. Two parameters were proposed as measures of moral identity: the strength of assessment that reflects the degree internalization of moral values (moral self) and the number of choices that reflects the consistency in choosing moral values (moral integrity). Convergent and concurrent validity were checked in the preliminary analysis. Correlations between moral identity measures and scores on the pairwise comparison questionnaire indicate satisfactory convergent validity only for number of choices parameter. Regarding the concurrent validity, no differences were found in the parameters of moral identity between the groups of participants with different volunteering experience, but differences were obtained in the both parameters with regard to the religious status of the participants. Believers achieve higher scores in both parameters for the values of loyalty, freedom and respect, while non-believers achieve higher scores for the values of truth and concern for others. Finally, the moral identity measures showed insignificant or weak correlation within different contexts (value choices strongly influenced by situational factors), that do not support Blasi's starting point that moral identity is a stable aspect of the self.
