Objective The Aquino and Reeds’ Moral Identity Scale was developed with the purpose of measuring how people evaluate their private (Internalization subscale) and public (Symbolization subscale) moral identity. MIS became one of most commonly and broadly used measures in moral studies. The aim of this study is to validate Polish adaptation of MIS by analyzing its structure and relation to similar measures like Stake’s Moral Self Concept Scale and the Jordan, Leliveld and Tenbrunsels’ Self-importance of Moral Identity Scale, declared past prosocial behaviors and readiness to donate money. Methods We conducted four studies on a total sample of N = 2892 participants. Translation-back-translation procedure was used to maintain semantic, idiomatic and conceptual equivalence of the original scale. Factor structure, reliability, validity and measurement invariance was tested for men and women.ResultsA stable two-factor structure in 10 items was found to replicate over four samples. Results show that reliability α was between 0.71and 0.81 for Internalization, and 0.76 and 0.81 for Symbolization. Validity was confirmed in terms of expected pattern of correlations with morality measures. Configural and metric invariance was confirmed across gender except factor loadings on two items regarding external manifestation of values. Polish normalization for men and women was constructed.Conclusions Polish adaptation of Moral Identity Scale proved to be structurally consistent and valid measure.

Objective The Self-Importance of Moral Identity Scale (SMIS) was developed by Aquino and Reeds with the purpose of measuring how people evaluate their private (Internalization subscale) and public (Symbolization subscale) moral identity. SMIS has become commonly and broadly used in many studies. The aim of this paper is to validate the Polish version of SMIS by analyzing its structure and relation to similar measures (such as The Moral Self-Concept Scale developed by Stake and The Moral Self-Image Scale created by Jordan, Leliveld and Tenbrunsel), declared past prosocial behaviors and readiness to donate money. Methods The translation-back-translation procedure was used to maintain semantic, idiomatic, and conceptual equivalence of the original scale. Throughout four separate studies the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the scale were assessed: Study 1 (N = 529) was carried out to derive the factor structure using the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and cross-validate it; Study 2 (N = 602) and Study 3 (N = 899) were performed to confirm and replicate the structure with the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA); gender-balanced Study 4 (N = 862) was conducted to assess measurement invariance over gender using multigroup CFA, and to normalize the scale. Validity of the scale was assessed based on each study. Results A stable two-factor structure using 10 items was replicated in four different samples. The results showed that reliability (α) was between 0.71 and 0.81 for Internalization, and 0.76 and 0.81 for Symbolization. Validity was confirmed in terms of the expected pattern of correlations with morality measures and factorial structure. Metric invariance across gender was confirmed with possible exception of factor loadings on two items regarding communication of values. Polish normalization for men and women was constructed. Conclusions Polish validation of SMIS proved to be a structurally consistent and valid measure.

Self-concept is one of the most relevant variables in the field of personality, and a negative self-perception can pose a risk to the adolescent’s development. The present study aimed to analyze the psychometric properties proposed by Aguirre and collaborators for the dimensional self-concept questionnaire (AUDIM-M). The total sample was 560 adolescents from the city of Chihuahua, Chihuahua, with a mean age of 12.96 ± 0.88 years. The factor structure of the questionnaire was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. The analyses show that a four-factor structure is viable and adequate (GFI 0.964; RMSEA 0.057; CFI 0.950). The four-factor structure (personal self-concept, physical self-concept, social self-concept, and academic self-concept), according to statistical and substantive criteria, shows adequate indicators of reliability and validity adjustment. The model obtained coincides with that proposed by Aguirre et al. Improving adolescents’ self-concept undoubtedly contributes to their quality of life, hence the need for valid and reliable instruments for its measurement; this study could be a first approach for future research.

Abstract Moral identity, or moral self, is the degree to which being moral is important to a person’s self-concept. It is hypothesized to be the `missing link’ between moral judgment and moral action. However, its cognitive and psychophysiological mechanisms are still subject to debate. In this study, we used event-related potentials to examine whether the moral self-concept is related to how people process prosocial and antisocial actions. To this end, participants’ implicit and explicit moral self-concept were assessed. We examined whether individual differences in moral identity relate to differences in early, automatic processes [i.e. Early Posterior Negativity (EPN), N2] or late, cognitively controlled processes (i.e. late positive potential) while observing prosocial and antisocial situations. Results show that a higher implicit moral self was related to a lower EPN amplitude for prosocial scenarios. In addition, an enhanced explicit moral self was related to a lower N2 amplitude for prosocial scenarios. The findings demonstrate that the moral self affects the neural processing of morally relevant stimuli during third-party evaluations. They support theoretical considerations that the moral self already affects (early) processing of moral information.

The present study analyzes the psychometric properties of the Dimensional Self-Concept Questionnaire (AUDIM-M) in university men and women. The total sample was of 730 participants; 365 women and 365 men, with a means age of 20.55 years (SD = 1.87) and 20.78 years (SD = 1.90) respectively. According to the established psychometric requirements, the confirmatory factor analyzes showed that a four-factor structure (personal selfconcept, physical self-concept, social self-concept and academic self-concept) is viable and suitable for both populations (women and men). In addition, the factorial structure, the factorial loads and the intercepts are considered invariant in the two populations; however, there are differences between the populations for the means of the factors physical self-concept and social selfconcept.

Abstract. This research redefined the job demands–resources (JD-R) job crafting model ( Tims & Bakker, 2010 ) to resolve theoretical and empirical inconsistencies regarding the crafting of job demands and developed a German version of the Job Crafting Scale (JCS; Tims, Bakker, & Derks, 2012 ) in two separate studies (total N = 512). In Study 1 the German version of the JCS was developed and tested for its factor structure, reliability, and construct validity. Study 2 dealt with the validity of our redefined JD-R job crafting model. The results show that, like the original version, the German version comprises four job crafting types, and the German version of the JCS is a valid and reliable generic measure that can be used for future research with German-speaking samples. Evidence for the redefined JD-R job crafting model was based on findings relating job crafting to work engagement and emotional exhaustion.
