The -MUT- is an objective and rational questionnaire.
It is based on the cognitive theory of moral development of
Kohlberg. The MUT measures moral judgment as a core element of
a democratic personality. The individual's capacity to reflect one's
intuitively gained opinion on the basis of autonomously selected
moral principles is an essential precondition of democratic decision
making. As “moral actions” and “moral attitudes” cannot be defined
on pure cognitive or motivational criteria, the MUT purposes to
measure both cognitive and affective aspects of moral judgment
simultaneously but as distinguished. The test has been validated in
ten different languages and includes three factors: The stages, the
dilemmas, and pros and Cons. The present validity study of the
Turkish version of the test (MUT-TR) was done using the scores of
461 subjects. The results showed its validity on the Turkish sample.
It is concluded that the instrument is useful and valuable means to
rationally and objectively measure moral judgment and democratic
personality.
