Although Bandura conceptualized moral disengagement as a global dimension encompassing a set of mechanisms, the validated factorial structures of the existing scales have not fully matched the conceptual model so far. The present study attempts to narrow the gap between the moral disengagement conceptual model and its measurement tools by testing five factorial structures based both on theory and previous empirical work. A sample of 1107 pupils from Grades 4 to 6 completed the French version of the Moral Disengagement in Bullying Scale (Fr-MDBS). Confirmatory factorial analyses revealed that a second-order factor structure, congruent with the conceptual model, was better than a single-factor and as good as a first-order multi-factorial structure. Results also supported both construct validity (gender comparison) and predictive validity of the scale. Moral disengagement mechanisms were associated with self- and peer-reported bullying and victimization, defender, and outsider behaviors. Euphemistic labeling, diffusion of responsibility, and distorting consequences were also related to bullying whereas moral justification and victim attribution were related to both bullying and victimization. Euphemistic labeling, diffusion of responsibility, distorting consequences, and victim attribution were negatively associated with defender behavior and positively related to outsider behavior. Advantageous comparison was not related to any of the examined variables. The Fr-MDBS seems to be a useful assessment tool to validly examine either the mechanisms or the global dimension of moral disengagement.

尽管班杜拉将道德脱离概念化为包含一系列机制的全球维度，但迄今为止，现有量表的验证因子结构尚未完全匹配概念模型。本研究试图通过基于理论和以前的实证工作测试五个因子结构来缩小道德脱离概念模型与其测量工具之间的差距。来自 4 至 6 年级的 1107 名学生的样本完成了法语版的欺凌道德脱离量表 (Fr-MDBS)。验证性因子分析表明，与概念模型一致的二阶因子结构优于单因子，与一阶多因子结构一样好。结果还支持量表的结构效度（性别比较）和预测效度。道德脱离机制与自我和同伴报告的欺凌和受害、捍卫者和局外人行为有关。委婉的标签、责任的分散和扭曲的后果也与欺凌有关，而道德辩护和受害者归因与欺凌和受害有关。委婉标签、责任分散、扭曲后果和受害者归因与防御者行为负相关，与局外人行为正相关。有利比较与任何检查变量无关。Fr-MDBS 似乎是一个有用的评估工具，可以有效地检查道德脱离的机制或全球层面。道德脱离机制与自我和同伴报告的欺凌和受害、捍卫者和局外人行为有关。委婉的标签、责任的分散和扭曲的后果也与欺凌有关，而道德辩护和受害者归因与欺凌和受害有关。委婉标签、责任分散、扭曲后果和受害者归因与防御者行为负相关，与局外人行为正相关。有利比较与任何检查变量无关。Fr-MDBS 似乎是一个有用的评估工具，可以有效地检查道德脱离的机制或全球层面。道德脱离机制与自我和同伴报告的欺凌和受害、捍卫者和局外人行为有关。委婉的标签、责任的分散和扭曲的后果也与欺凌有关，而道德辩护和受害者归因与欺凌和受害有关。委婉标签、责任分散、扭曲后果和受害者归因与防御者行为负相关，与局外人行为正相关。有利比较与任何检查变量无关。Fr-MDBS 似乎是一个有用的评估工具，可以有效地检查道德脱离的机制或全球层面。防御者和局外人的行为。委婉的标签、责任的分散和扭曲的后果也与欺凌有关，而道德辩护和受害者归因与欺凌和受害有关。委婉标签、责任分散、扭曲后果和受害者归因与防御者行为负相关，与局外人行为正相关。有利比较与任何检查变量无关。Fr-MDBS 似乎是一个有用的评估工具，可以有效地检查道德脱离的机制或全球层面。防御者和局外人的行为。委婉的标签、责任的分散和扭曲的后果也与欺凌有关，而道德辩护和受害者归因与欺凌和受害有关。委婉标签、责任分散、扭曲后果和受害者归因与防御者行为负相关，与局外人行为正相关。有利比较与任何检查变量无关。Fr-MDBS 似乎是一个有用的评估工具，可以有效地检查道德脱离的机制或全球层面。和扭曲的后果也与欺凌有关，而道德辩护和受害者归因与欺凌和受害有关。委婉标签、责任分散、扭曲后果和受害者归因与防御者行为负相关，与局外人行为正相关。有利比较与任何检查变量无关。Fr-MDBS 似乎是一个有用的评估工具，可以有效地检查道德脱离的机制或全球层面。和扭曲的后果也与欺凌有关，而道德辩护和受害者归因与欺凌和受害有关。委婉标签、责任分散、扭曲后果和受害者归因与防御者行为负相关，与局外人行为正相关。有利比较与任何检查变量无关。Fr-MDBS 似乎是一个有用的评估工具，可以有效地检查道德脱离的机制或全球层面。
