Questionnaire

In this part of the questionnaire contains two kinds of questions. The goal is to determine whether or not you would make a moral decision when your decision could harm the item. And to gain more insight into the actions you perform in your daily life to prevent harm to the item.


In this context, going through with the action that could harm the item is considered a moral wrong. Meaning that to make a moral decision is to not go through with performing the harmful action. For each item with a dropdown menu you can give one answer. These questions you can answer from strongly agree to strongly disagree. You can find the answers by scrolling through the dropdown menu. By the other questions we ask you to give a short description of max. 500 words.


It can be that you don't have to answer all the questions. The questionnaire will indicate this by taking you to the next question.
