Gambaran perkembangan moral foundation pada laki-laki nonbeliever hingga usia emerging adulthood

Abstract

This study applied narrative inquiry method with a life story approach and critical incident technique to understand and described the changes and development of moral foundation of male nonbelievers in Indonesia. The Moral Foundation Theory (MFT) was used as the framework of explanation. Five male nonbelievers aged 21-22 years participated in this study. The analysis was carried out by identification of important trajectories in the life of participants and select emerging themes for analysis. The findings indicated that nonbelievers still express each domain of moral foundation. Nonbelievers tend to be dominant in the care, fairness, liberty foundation compared to the loyalty, authority, and sanctity foundations. However, social context has a role for nonbelievers in applying a certain moral foundation into action. Parents played dominant roles in introducing and guarding the acceptable family morality from kindergarten to elementary school. Meanwhile, changes in beliefs, friendships and the use of media play a dominant role changing the moral foundation during middle school to college.
