In this article, we create and validate a measure of moral intuition salience developmentally appropriate for use among children and adolescents. This measure allows researchers to apply moral foundations theory and the model of intuitive morality and exemplars to child and adolescent moral development and media use, an important addition to the literature, as to date, this theory and its measurement have generally only been used among college-aged and adult participants. Following five pilot tests (total N = 713) that demonstrated face, concurrent, and predictive validity of our measure among young adults, we present validation data from 8- to 17-year-olds (N = 577), demonstrating the developmental nature of these moral intuitions and linking them with media use. This measure can be used to understand how children’s moral intuition salience relates to their media and content choices, as well as how media relates to the moral intuitions most salient to the child.

儿童和青少年道德直觉显着性测量的开发和验证：道德直觉和发展量表

在本文中，我们创建并验证了一种适合在儿童和青少年中使用的道德直觉显着性测量方法。这项措施使研究人员能够将道德基础理论和直觉道德模型以及范例应用于儿童和青少年的道德发展和媒体使用，这是对文献的重要补充，到目前为止，该理论及其测量通常仅在大学中使用-老年人和成人参与者。在证明我们的措施在年轻人中的面部、同时和预测有效性的五项试点测试（总 N = 713）之后，我们提供了 8 至 17 岁儿童（N = 577）的验证数据，证明了发展的本质这些道德直觉并将它们与媒体使用联系起来。
