The Causal Modeling of the Relationship Among the Implicit Theories of Moral Character, Moral Motivation, And Moral Behavior

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to unveil the Causal Modeling of the relationship among the Implicit theories of moral character, Moral Motivation, and Moral Behavior for the students of the Jordanian University for Science and Technology )JUST( Based on scientific foundations. The study constructed a proposed causal relationship model using path analysis for interpreting Behavioral Moral. To achieve this goal, the Behavioral Moral scale by Carlo, Hausmann, Christiansen & Randall )2003(, the Moral Motivation scale by Kaplan & Tivnan )2014(, were adopted, and the researchers prepared the tool of the implicit theories of moral character. All of these tools combined were used in this study. The sample consisted of )378( students who were chosen on availability grounds. The results of the study showed no statistically significant differences existed between the proposed and the optimal causal relationship models due to high matches on:IFI =1.00,CFI=1.00,RMSEA=0.00,= 0.261 Thus, the model construed explains the relationships proposed and represented the optimal causal relationship model for the variables of the study.
