A Unified Measure of Moral Neutralization. An Addendum

The present addendum is an amendment to Ribeaud and Eisner’s (2010) article on a unified measure of moral neutralization. In particular, it includes data from wave 5 of the z‐proso study at age 13.7 that was not yet available at the time of the original publication which is based on the wave 4 measurement at age 11.3. Among others, the additional data collection allows us to test the stability of the factor structure as well as of the predictive validity over time and to assess the amount of (longer term) test‐retest correlation and the change‐on‐change correlations with selected outcomes. Moreover, the original 16‐item scale was extended by two items in order to more fully represent the range of neutralization mechanisms. Accordingly, we will also show how this amendment changed the overall scale characteristics
