Moral judgment is a complex cognitive process that partly depends upon social and individual cultural values. There have been various efforts to categorize different aspects of moral judgment, but most studies depend upon rare dilemmas. We recruited 25 subjects from Tehran, Iran, to rate 150 everyday moral scenarios developed by Knutson et al. Using exploratory factor analysis (EFA), we observed that the same moral dimensions (except socialness dimension) were driven by the same moral cognitive factors (norm violation, intention, and social affect) in Iranian vs. American studies. However, there were minor differences in the factor loadings between the two cultures. Furthermore, based on the EFA results, we developed a short form of the questionnaire by removing eleven of the fifteen scenarios from each of the ten categories. These results could be used in further studies to better understand the similarities and differences in moral judgment in everyday interactions across different cultures.
道德判断是一个复杂的认知过程，部分取决于社会和个人文化价值观。人们曾做出各种努力对道德判断的不同方面进行分类，但大多数研究依赖于罕见的困境。我们从伊朗德黑兰招募了25名受试者，让他们对克努森等人编制的150个日常道德情境进行评分。通过探索性因素分析（EFA），我们观察到，在伊朗和美国的研究中，相同的道德维度（社会维度除外）由相同的道德认知因素（规范违背、意图和社会影响）驱动。然而，两种文化之间在因素负荷上存在细微差异。此外，基于探索性因素分析的结果，我们通过从十个类别中的每一个类别中删除十五个情境中的十一个，编制了一个简短形式的问卷。这些结果可用于进一步的研究，以更好地理解不同文化在日常互动中道德判断的异同。
