Study 3 Cross-Cultural Study - The Morality as Cooperation–Deviance Relevance Scale: A Self-Report Instrument to Capture Moral Pluralism Beyond the WEIRD World

Study 1 and Study 2 are also available in the GESIS repository. The data and syntaxes presented here originate from the third study (Study 3), in which we developed and evaluated the new research instrument, the Morality as Cooperation–Deviance Relevance Scale (MaC-DRS).

In this study, the MaC-DRS was empirically tested and examined with regard to its psychometric properties across four cultural contexts. Data were collected via online surveys using access panels in four target countries: Egypt (EG), Germany (GER), Japan (JP), and the United States of America (USA). Several inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, ensuring sufficient statistical power, gender balance, a broad age distribution, and other relevant demographic characteristics.
