Ethics, politics, and how we think. [View all]

This is an interesting website that allows us to examine our own sense of morality. I doubt it will tell you anything you don't already know about yourself, although I have gotten a surprise or two along the way. I think, more importantly, it offers a theoretical framework to understand how we all view morality and how that morality is expressed in the social sphere. That interaction, as with most things human, is a lot more complicated that we at first might think.

Welcome to YourMorals.org, where you can learn about your own morality, ethics, and/or values, while also contributing to scientific research. We are a group of professors and graduate students in social psychology at the University of Virginia, The University of California (Irvine), and the University of Southern California.

Our goal is to understand the way our "moral minds" work. Why do people disagree so passionately about what is right? Why, in particular, is there such hostility and incomprehension between members of different political parties? By filling out a few of our surveys, you'll help us answer those questions We, in return, will give you an immediate report on how you scored on each study, quiz, or survey. We'll show you how your responses compare to others and we'll tell you what that might say about you.
