“…This finding is consistent with other studies that examine the moral endorsement of individuals from different ideologies (e.g., Franks & Scherr, 2015;Kugler et al, 2014;Rempala et al, 2016;Silver & Silver, 2017). In addition, past studies in the moral foundations literature that focuses on the political spectrum in Turkey also showed that the rightists endorse loyalty and authority foundations more compared to the leftists (e.g., Yalçındağ et al, 2019;Yilmaz, Saribay, et al, 2016). However, Yilmaz, Saribay, et al, (2016) these results show the significant differences between alliances, they are not sufficient to make a precise interpretation of the differences based on parties.…”

Amidst the 2018 presidential campaign, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said "If one day our nation says tamam 1 (enough), then we will step aside" in his parliamentary speech. After Erdoğan's speech, there was a burst of comments on social media, especially on Twitter (Pierpoint et al., 2018). Opponents of Erdogan, including the members of parliament from opposition parties, reacted to Erdogan's words by tweeting using the "#tamam" hashtag, which was used to advocate that it is enough and it is time for Erdogan to step aside. As a reaction to this, Erdogan's supporters, including some of the ministers and deputies, responded by starting the hashtag "#devam" (which means "continue") to show their support for Erdogan's government. These two hashtags were used almost 2 million times in one day and they both ended up on Twitter's worldwide trending topic list (Pierpoint et al., 2018). In this study, the pro-and antigovernment tweets with the "#tamam" and "#devam" hashtags were analyzed in terms of their moral content. We examined the content of 186,554 tweets (86,554 pro-and 100,000 anti-government) within the framework of the Moral Foundations Theory (MFT;

“…The results reveal the moral foundations arguments strongly influenced the willingness to change early adolescents' moral judgments, P-value < 0,001 and support the finding of Haidt et al (2012) and other studies (Yalçındağ et al 2017;Davies, Sibley, & Liu 2014;Métayer & Pahlavan 2014;Zhang & Li 2015;Lewis et al 2012) dealing with the universality of moral foundations. On the other hand, the findings of this research do not follow the studies reporting that people tend to moral objectivism.…”

The empirical research reported in this article is based on the Moral Foundations Theory proposed by J. Haidt. Objectives. The author examines the impact of moral foundations arguments on early adolescents’ moral judgments regarding violating moral rules and explores gender-related differences between moral foundations preferences. Method. The effect of moral foundations arguments was measured by a newly developed meta-ethical position test (MEPT). The MEPT consists of a pretest questionnaire, treatment by moral foundations arguments, and a posttest questionnaire. The sample contained 178 early adolescents from the Czech Republic (84 females and 94 males). The influence of the moral foundations arguments was analyzed by comparing the pretest with the posttest. Results. 91% of teenagers changed their moral judgment due to confrontations with the moral foundations arguments. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test found that the moral foundations arguments were significantly relevant, since the P-value was lower than 0.001. The Mann-Whitney U test revealed the importance of the gender aspect: P-value care equals 0.01 and liberty 0.01. Girls have a preference for care foundation (21% more than boys), while boys tended to liberty (27 % more than girls). It seems that moral foundations arguments strongly change early adolescents’ moral judgments and can be practically applied as a valuable platform for early adolescents’ moral development.

“…Although there may be other important moral domains beyond the five proposed by moral foundations theory (Graham et al, 2013), the foundations of care, fairness, loyalty, authority, and purity have been particularly useful in predicting differences in moral judgment between religious and non-religious individuals. Variables such as religious attendance (Di Battista et al, 2018;Koleva et al, 2012;Mooijman et al, 2018) and general religiousness (LaBouff et al, 2017;Piazza & Landy, 2013;Yalçındağ et al, 2019) are positively correlated with binding foundations and less consistently but negatively correlated with individualizing foundations (Koleva et al, 2012;Yalçındağ et al, 2019). This suggests that general religiousness is related to the binding foundations, especially purity.…”

We present evidence for a complex relationship between religiousness and Haidt’s moral foundations, with data from four experiments, measuring 21 different dimensions of personal religiousness and utilizing six different religious primes. The more conservative dimensions of religiousness, such as intrinsic religious orientation and religious attendance, were positively related to binding moral foundations of loyalty, authority, and purity and sometimes related to the individualizing foundation of care. However, other, less conservative dimensions of religiousness, such as quest and extrinsic religious orientations, were unrelated or negatively related to binding foundations. Benevolent God concept was the only religious measure that was positively related to all five moral foundations. We did not find reliable effects of religious primes on endorsement of moral foundations. Results suggest a consistent but complicated relationship between religiousness and moral foundations at a dispositional level.
