  • Understanding libertarian morality and the moral motives model

    Description:
    The current studies (Study 1 and Study 2) sought to explore where libertarian values would fit into the Moral Motives Model (Janoff-Bulman, & Carnes, 2013) . If libertarians place values on the self, liberty, and personal freedom, then they should fall under the self (personal) moral motives related to self-restraint and industriousness. Participants first completed a 10 item subscale of the Moral Motives Questionnaire (Janoff-Bulman, & Carnes, 2013) that assessed their endorsement of the six moral motives. Next, participants answered two questions assessing their liberalism and conservatism on both economic and social issues. Results have shown that libertarian morality in the Moral Motives Model appear most distinct when applied to the self. Libertarian morality reflects a consistent conservative stance on the domain of self-reliance, but the pattern of results was mixed when it came to self-restraint.
