To find out your scores on the five foundations, please register at www.YourMorals.org, and take the first questionniare.

If you are a researcher and you want to collect data yourself, please use the MFQ30 (the 30 item Moral Foundations Questionnaire, revised in July 2008). You can use this item key to see which items go into each scale, and which get reversed or dropped. Basically, the items on each part rotate through the five foundations: HFIAP, HFIAP...

To analyze your data: if possible please use this spss file to enter your data. It contains the same variable names that we use, and will therefore facilitate sharing data. You can then use this spss syntax file to calculate scores on each of the 5 subscales, for each of the two parts of the scale.

The MFQ30 contains several improvements over the 41 item version we were using before July 2008, incluidng:
--Removal of 10 items that were not contributing well to measurement
--Refinement of 2 items that had multiple meanings or components
--Replacement of the old "astrology" item with 2 improved "catch" questions to remove people not responding seriously

If you must have a shorter version, you can use the MFQ20 (a 20 item version of the MFQ, with alphas that are just slightly lower, but with a bit less breadth of conceptual coverage). Here is the item key, blank SPSS data file, and SPSS syntax file for the MFQ20.
