| Summary≠ | The Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ) is a 30-item self-report instrument developed by Graham, Haidt and colleagues (2011) to measure the degree to which people rely on five intuitive moral foundations: Care/harm, Fairness/cheating, Loyalty/betrayal, Authority/subversion, and Sanctity/degradation. It is the standard operationalization of Moral Foundations Theory, which argues that political and cultural moral disagreements arise from differing weights placed on these foundations. | The Need for Cognitive Closure Scale, developed by Webster and Kruglanski (1994), measures a stable individual difference in the desire for a firm, definite answer to a question and an aversion to ambiguity and uncertainty. High need for closure is a key epistemic-motivation construct in political psychology, linked to conservatism, prejudice, intolerance of dissent, and resistance to belief change. |
