 note = {The theory of moral development should explain prosocial behaviors and cooperation in diverse societies and the process of conducting inhumane behaviors. Recent research has focused on cognitive distortions that prevent moral concepts from functioning during violent incidents and cyberbullying. Studies on the effects and changes in moral disengagement were mainly conducted in Europe and the US, whereas these studies have just begun in Japan. As a result, it is necessary to develop scales for assessing cognitive tendencies for moral disengagement. This study developed a scale to assess cognitive distortion in moral settings. Participants were Japanese youth （N=1,082, age range 15-22 years）. In Study 1, we conducted exploratory research with university students by preparing 17 items related to children’s perception of bullying. The results indicated a two-factor structure in the disengagement tendency. However, the two-factor structure had inadequate goodness of fit. In Study 2, we expanded the study to high school students, university students, and working adults aged between 18 and 22 years. We used item analysis and factor analysis and developed a moral disengagement scale consisting of nine items and three factors: “Distortion of justification,” “Interpretation,” and “Evaluation.” Then, we confirmed the goodness of fit of the scale’s factor structure, assessed its reliability using the test-retest method, and established the three subscales' internal consistency. An analysis of variance indicated that the three types of distortion scores were significantly higher in men than women, significant in high school and university students. Moreover, we analyzed the correlation of the new scale with the Dark Triad, Multifaceted Cooperativeness Scale, Belief in Just World Scale and Critical Thinking Dispositions Inventory, which indicated that the three distortion subscales were partially but significantly correlated with those subscales, demonstrating some of the construct validity of the scale of moral disengagement for youth. In the future, the scale's criterion-related validity and the possibility of using the scale with elementary and junior high school students should be examined., text, application/pdf},
