Abstract
This research evaluates the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Moral Character Questionnaire (MCQ), initially developed by Furr et al. in 2022. The MCQ assesses seven dimensions of moral character: Global Morality, Honesty, Compassion, Fairness, Loyalty, Purity, and Respect. The sample comprised 161 Indonesian participants aged 18–40, selected using purposive sampling. Data collection utilized a Google Forms questionnaire, with analysis including Cronbach's alpha reliability testing, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The findings showed high reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.868). EFA identified three distinct factors with eigenvalues >3, differing from the original seven-factor structure. One item was excluded due to low factor loading. CFA indicated good model fit indices (RMSEA = 0.061, GFI = 0.978, SRMR = 0.071). This study concludes that the Indonesian MCQ is valid and reliable, providing insights for future research and applications in education, mental health, and human resource development.
