About This Assessment

Attitude Towards Adhering to Moral Standards Among Students Test

Attitudes Toward Adherence to Moral Norms (Student Version) Test - Symptoms and Signs

business

morality

This instrument is designed to assess how students evaluate and endorse adherence to commonly accepted moral norms in everyday situations. Attitudes Toward Adherence to Moral Norms (Student Version) uses brief scenario-based prompts to elicit respondents’ typical judgments and intended behavioral tendencies in ethically relevant contexts. It contains 25 items and typically requires about 5 minutes to complete.

Items focus on practical choices and reactions rather than abstract moral theory, supporting use in educational and research settings where a concise self-report measure is needed. Attitudes Toward Adherence to Moral Norms (Student Version) is attributed to Lawrence Kohlberg and James Rest and is intended to provide a structured snapshot of the respondent’s orientation toward following moral rules and expectations in student-relevant circumstances.
