Tools for Assessing Moral Development

Measure of Moral Orientation (MMO)

The Measure of Moral Orientation (MMO) is an instrument that measures the ethics of care and justice as typically associated with the work of Lawrence Kohlberg and Carol Gilligan.  It is an 89-item self-report inventory that is "designed to assess the moral orientation of college students" (Liddell, Halpin & Halpin, 1992, p. 325).
