Culturally Informed Moral Domain

Vatsala Saxena

Abstract :

<p>&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;The present study provides support for a culturally informed moral domain beyond the values of &amp;amp;lsquo;harm&amp;amp;rsquo; and &amp;amp;lsquo;justice&amp;amp;rsquo;.&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;This paper documents the findings of the Moral Foundation Questionnaire (MFQ). The MFQ was administered on 100&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;participants which helped in knowing the moral preference of the sample. The MFQ showed an emphasis on the moral&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt; &amp;lt;div&amp;gt;domain of &amp;amp;lsquo;purity&amp;amp;rsquo;, apart from the emphasis on the ideals of harm and fairness&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;</p>
