Resumen

Moral reasoning is a field of investigation that has been raising more and more interest. It is necessary to have valid tools for evaluating moral reasoning. To this end, this article provides an update review about existing tools that evaluate moral reasoning, focusing on the description of their characteristics as well as their psychometric properties. In a literature review using the Web of Science, the scientific literature was reviewed between 1900 and 2017, focusing on the last 30 years. Three search processes were performed: an initial one to observe the current situation, a system applying inclusion-exclusion criteria, and a manual search to evaluate the obtained results. A total of 21 instruments were found that evaluate moral reasoning. Possible aspects of improvement in lines of future research are discussed.
