Highlights
- Jonathan Haidt founded his moral foundations theory in the ’90s. This model uses 5 (or 6) dimensions (foundations) to identify which values guide us in our behaviour and decision-making.
- 3 of the 5 foundations are biased and favour conservative values. The questions assess whether someone agrees with (mostly American) established social conventions.
