identity moral

This measure is designed to assess individual differences in how central moral characteristics are to a person’s self-concept. The Moral Identity Questionnaire (SIMI) includes 10 items and is typically completed in about 2 minutes.

Respondents rate the personal importance of moral attributes (e.g., being honest, fair, and responsible) and the extent to which these qualities are integrated into their identity.
