- Abstract
Moral identity is linked with people's individual well-being; conversely, little is known about how a person with moral identity relays to one's subjective well-being. The English version Moral Identity Questionnaire was developed to study the "moral development/moral Identity" that would embrace both integrity and the prominence of morality to selfidentity. (Black & Reynold, 2016). The purpose of present study is to translate the "Moral Identity Questionnaire" in Urdu language. The sample comprised of (N=550) Police officers men (n = 283) and women (n = 267) with the age ranges from 22 to 48 years (M = 34.5; SD = 15.97) from Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore and Faisalabad Police headquarters. To collect data from participants' purposive sampling technique was used. Initially the study comprises of three phases: Phase 1 study aimed to translate and validate English version of MIQ into Urdu language. Forward-backward translation method was used to determine the crosslanguage validity, Urdu version and the original MIQ English versions were administered on bilingual (N = 60) police personnel force including men and women with the mean age of 29 years. Reliabilities of both versions were determined by computing test-retest techniques. Phase-II was intended to determine the construct validity using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) on a sample of (N=200) police officers including men and women with an age range of 21-35 years. The results showed that two factors i.e., Moral Self and Moral Integrity indicated moral identity. Phase-III of the research was designed to confirm the factorial validity. The findings confirmed the two-factor solution and suggested that MIQ Urdu version can be used as a valid and reliable measure for the assessment of moral identity.
