Pilot test
Sachdeva et al. chose their stimuli words from prior research showing that these words affected moral identity (Reed, Aquino, & Levy, 2007); Since one of our proposed replication studies will be conducted in a sample of Dutch participants, it is important that these words have a similar effect in the Dutch language and cultural context as they have been shown to have in the USA. Therefore, we will test the ten-item measure on moral identity (Appendix 1) in a Dutch sample in the lab (N ≥ 50) and an American sample on Mturk (N ≥ 50) sample to see whether these words have similar effects on moral identity in both cultures. We will conduct a univariate ANOVA to analyze the effect of nationality on moral identity. If our pilot test shows that the words differ in meaning, we will translate, create, and test a different translation until we have a scale that is similar in the Dutch and the U.S sample.
