Recent research in empirical moral psychology attempts to understand
(rather than place judgment on) the salient normative differences that
laypeople have when making moral decisions by using survey methodology
that is based on the operationalized principles from moral theories. The
PPIMT is the first measure designed to assess respondents’ preference for
the precepts implied in the three dominant moral theories: virtue ethics,
deontology, and consequentialism. The current study used a latent modeling
approach to determine the most theoretically-sound and
psychometrically-acceptable model for the PPIMT using a combined sample of
college students from a southeastern university in U.S. and MTurk
respondents. The PPIMT model fit was acceptable (χ2= 84.125, df= 40, p=
0.001; RMSEA = 0.052, 90%CI = 0.037 to 0.068; CFI = 0.980; SRMR = 0.035)
with four items for Virtue, four items for Deontology, and three items for
Consequentialism.
