Moral Foundations in High School, an exploratory study

This study aimed to answer the following research question: Which is the valuation level that High School students gave to each moral foundation? As subordinate question we aimed to know whether the factors sex and socioeconomic were meaningful for this appreciation. We formulated a null hypothesis: the sex of the participants and their socioeconomic status had no impact on the score that they gave to the moral foundations in order to reject it. Using a quantitative approach and applied the Moral Foundations Questionnaire developed by Haidt and Graham (2011), the results realized that damage and care foundation got more value in their moral decisions, regarding to the factors described there were no evidence found asserting its influence in this decision taken by the adolescents.
