CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this questionnaire measure?

It screens key aspects of moral development in adolescents across five areas: attitude toward society, attitude toward labor, attitude toward other people, and self-discipline. Results support identification of strengths and areas needing support.

Who should complete the forms?

A teacher and a parent or guardian complete separate forms. Each rater should base responses on direct observation over time.

How long does it take and how many items are included?

The questionnaire includes 20 items and typically takes about 4 minutes per rater. Completion time may vary slightly depending on familiarity with the student.

How should items be rated?

Select the response that best reflects typical behavior rather than isolated incidents. If information is limited, use the most reasonable option and avoid overinterpretation.

How should results be interpreted when teacher and parent ratings differ?

Differences may reflect behavior in different settings or different observation opportunities. Use discrepancies as prompts for follow-up discussion and additional observation.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Moral Development Assessment Test - Symptoms and Signs

morality

This measure is designed to support structured appraisal of adolescent moral orientations and related prosocial attitudes. The Moral Development Assessment is intended to provide a brief, multidomain snapshot that may inform educational or behavioral planning. The measure is attributed to Lawrence Kohlberg and consists of 20 items, typically completed in about 4 minutes.

Content coverage may include attitudes toward society, work and responsibility, interpersonal regard, and self-discipline, with ratings often gathered from multiple adult informants (e.g., teacher and parent) to compare perspectives and identify areas of convergence or discrepancy. Results from the Moral Development Assessment should be interpreted in context (developmental history, setting demands, and cultural factors) and used as an adjunct to broader clinical or school-based evaluation rather than as a standalone diagnostic tool.
