Moral anxiety among kindergarten students

Abstract

The aim of the current research was to identify moral anxiety among kindergarten students. The research sample included (400) kindergarten students. The researcher used a descriptive and analytical approach in her research. To achieve the research objectives, she relied on a moral anxiety scale based on Dahesh's (2010) definition. The scale includes 30 items divided into four comprehensive domains: guilt, morality, fear, and shame. Statistical methods were used to assess the research objectives, including Pearson's correlation coefficient, Cronbach's alpha coefficient for reliability, a t-test for two independent samples, and a t-test for one sample. The researcher concluded that kindergarten students do not experience moral anxiety.
