A total of 505 Flemish respondents took part in the survey.However,
155 individuals did not complete the questionnaire and 51 individuals
were omitted based on the criteria of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire
(MFQ) catch items (see below). That is, anyone who believed
math skills are related to virtuousness was omitted (N=38 responded
with the last three response options on MATH), and anyone who
disagreed that it is better to do good than to do bad, was omitted
(N = 13 responded with the first three response options on GOOD).
This leaves a total of 299 individuals: 62% women, 38% men (see
Table 1 for an overview of the socio-demographic characteristics of
the sample). The age of the respondents ranged from 20 to 76 years
(Mage = 34.40, SD = 12.58). Over half of the sample (58.6%) obtained
a high school or university degree.
