Abstract
In a sample of 105 students, the dimensionality of a moral intensity scale developed by Singhapakdi, Vitell, and Kraft in 1936 was assessed. Principal components analysis yielded a one-factor solution across 10 ethics scenari os, indicating that moral intensity may be treated as a unidimensional cons truct in some situations.
