The following tests were used. I'm not competent to assess their value or appropriateness. They were mailed to the participants, I understand: 3.1.2. Test Instruments 3.1.2.1. Inner/outer orientation. Baruss developed this scale to quantify a subjects worldview along an outer/inner, material/transcendental dimension 3.1.2.2. Moral reasoning. Gibbs Socio-Moral Reflection Measure-Short Form (SMR-SF) 3.1.2.3. Anxiety levels. Spielbergers State/Trait Anxiety (STAI) 3.1.2.4. Personality. The International Personality Item Pool (IPIP) was used to measure personality. 3.1.3. Data analysis: scoring of psychological tests The tests of inner/outer orientation, state/trait anxiety, and personality were scored using standard templates. Gibbss moral reasoning protocols were sent to trained scorers. The scorers met the requirements for reliability in scoring, set forth in Appendices B and C in Gibbss manual, (Gibbs et al., 1992).
