Abstract EN
A good theory-based tool for measuring ethical sensitivity, which is usable in different contexts, is scarce.
In this study, we examined the Ethical Sensitivity Scale Questionnaire (ESSQ) in line with its seven-dimension structure.
The scale was presented to a sample of 556 Iranian Kurdish teachers in primary, middle, and high schools.
A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to scrutinize the original factor structure of the ESSQ.
The results confirmed that the ESSQ supports a reasonable model fit to study the seven dimensions of ethical sensitivity as it was developed in the original study.
However, some modifications were conducted to free high error covariance between four pairs of items in the scale.
This modification increased the fit indices and thus resulted in a good model fit.
In addition to examining the satiability of the ESSQ, a further analysis showed that the level of ethical sensitivity in the targeted sample was high.
