Adaptation of the test "attitude to observance of moral standards" on the sample of Russian students

Abstract

© 2018 Russian Academy of Sciences. All rights reserved. The results of adaptation of the test "Attitude to Observance of Moral Norms" (by A.L. Zhuravlev, A.B. Kupreychenko) applied for the category of students are presented. The wording of a number of questions has been rephrased to match substantively the student environment, while preserving the common semantic core of moral judgments. The principle of total scoring of points for each item is proposed, which makes it possible to work with a quantitative rather than a nominal scale. The psychometric characteristics of the adapted version of the test are given: reliability, validity, discrimination. Statistical limits of norms are revealed. Differences in the attitude to observance of the specific moral standards in modern Russian students are shown. The possibility of using the presented version of the test in further studies is evaluated.
