Core Commitments: Educating Students for
Personal and Social Responsibility

This resource is adapted from the 2004 research of Lynn E. Swaner in her paper, Review of the Literature: Educating for Personal and Social Responsibility. September 13, 2004 (Part III)

Tools for Measuring Students' Development of Personal and Social Responsibility

The vast majority of measurements utilized to assess personal and social responsibility have arisen from cognitive-structural theories of moral development. In most cases, the development and refinement of these measurements has been well documented, sufficient reliability and validity have been demonstrated, and applicability to multiple and diverse populations has been established. General information on the format and use of each the assessments tools can be found below.

Not many instruments from perspectives other than cognitive-structural are used as extensively or are as directly applicable to the question of personal and social responsibility development in college. However, a few measures can be identified in the literature that assess pertinent dimensions of the self such as affect, values, and behavior, as well as personality, style and interests.
