Resumen

GUERRERO-MARTELO, Manuel et al. Validation of an instrument for measuring moral development in the context of situations related to corruption. Psicogente [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.40, pp.545-559. ISSN 0124-0137.  https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.21.40.2748.

Objective:

This paper presents the validation of an adaptation of the Defining Issues Test, short version (DIT-SF), to measure the moral development around corruption.

Method:

The sample was 232 university students of various professions and levels between the ages of 15 and 33 of both genders. The validated instrument (DIT-C) has 3 subscales where each one corresponds with a dilemma and associated items from which a score is obtained.

Results:

The results indicate that: 1There are significant correlations between the 3 subscales of the DIT-C, 2All subscales explain a percentage of the variance and, 3External validation with another instrument of moral development presented statistically significant correlations. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.809.

Conclusions:

The DIT-C is an instrument to measure the individual expectation of corruption that meets several of the minimum conditions of reliability and validity to measure the moral development around corruption.
