Abstract

The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Japanese version of Moral Expansiveness Scale (MES). The MES captures depth and breadth of the moral world in whichthe indi-vidual extends moral concern to a variety of entities, such as human, animals and environment. The original version has been tested on Australian and US samples and includes some target entities that are unfamiliar for Japanese samples (e.g., soldier, redwood tree). To make the entity list correspondent to Japanese society, we altered the entities. In validating the Japanese version, we conducted an online study to draw a diverse sample (n = 246; mean age = 49.24 years). The overall results demonstrated that the Japanese version of the MES has good convergent and predictive validity, hence a sound tool for as-sessing moral expansiveness in Japanese sample
