Consequentialist Scale

Test scores

Higher scores indicate stronger endorsement of the corresponding moral belief.

• Deontological Beliefs reflect the view that some actions are morally right or wrong in themselves, regardless of their consequences. Higher scores suggest greater emphasis on duties, rights, rules, intentions, and moral principles.

• Utilitarian Beliefs reflect the view that moral decisions should be based on consequences, especially maximizing overall benefit and minimizing harm. Higher scores suggest greater willingness to judge actions by their outcomes.
