The data and syntaxes provided here refer to Study 3, which is part of the project “The Morality as Cooperation–Deviance Relevance Scale: A Self-Report Instrument to Capture Moral Pluralism Beyond the WEIRD World”, encompassing three studies in total. Study 1 and Study 2 are also available in the GESIS repository. The data and syntaxes presented here originate from the third study (Study 3), in which we developed and evaluated the new research instrument, the Morality as Cooperation–Deviance Relevance Scale (MaC-DRS). In this study, the MaC-DRS was empirically tested and examined with regard to its psychometric properties across four cultural contexts. Data were collected via online surveys using access panels in four target countries: Egypt (EG), Germany (GER), Japan (JP), and the United States of America (USA). Several inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, ensuring sufficient statistical power, gender balance, a broad age distribution, and other relevant demographic characteristics. The raw dataset comprises a total of N = 2,982 cases, distributed across cultural groups as follows: EG, n = 746; GER, n = 751; JP, n = 740; USA, n = 745. Psychometric analyses were conducted using model-based approaches, including exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses as well as reliability assessments. In addition, measurement invariance was evaluated. Alongside the dataset, data preparation procedures and syntaxes for Stata 13 and Mplus (version 8.10) are provided.
