Sažetak
In the light of the renaissance of morality research, spurred by the popularity of the Social Intuitionist model (Haidt, 2001) and the Moral Foundations Theory (Graham et al., 2012), we examined the construct validity of the most widely used instrument for accessing the moral dimensions proposed by this theory – The Moral Foundations Questionnaire (Graham et al., 2011) in a Croatian sample. The instrument, originally aimed at measuring five dimensions -‐ Harm/ Care, Fairness/Reciprocity, Ingroup/Loyalty, Authority/Respect, and Purity/Sanctity, was supplemented with novel items aiming at the new potential foundation of Liberty/ Oppression (Iyer et al., 2012.). We applied the six-dimensional MFQ in a sample of 649 students (self-ratings) and 649 their close acquaintances (peer-ratings). Factor analysis yielded a two-‐ factor structure consisting of an individualizing factor and a binding factor. We discuss the relations between MFQ dimensions, Big-‐ Five factors and morality dimensions derived from the natural language. Discussed are also merits to cross-cultural applicability of the questionnaire and the Moral Foundations theory within a specific cultural setting of the transitional post-war Croatian society.
