In the sampling process, four faculties of humanity and social sciences, chemistry, economics and administrative sciences and basic sciences were randomly selected among twelve faculties.

Totally, 726 students answered the Black and Reynolds’s (2016) moral identity questionnaire. After removing 61 incomplete questionnaires, 665 questionnaires were analyzed. Results: The results of EFA indicated that the questionnaire has two dimensions of moral self and moral integrity, which was verified by CFA as well. The result of Pearson correlation showed a moderate correlation between the dimensions (r= 0.29, P= 0.0001) and a very strong correlation between moral self dimension (r= 0.74, P= 0.0001), and moral integrity dimension (r=0.85, P=0.0001) with the total score of the questionnaire. Moreover, Cronbach’s alpha for the dimensions and total score varied from 0.80 to 0.85. Conclusion: MIQ is appropriate for 18 years old subjects and above. It has an acceptable reliability and validity and can be used to measure moral identity of students and other classes of the society to identify moral self and moral integrity factors.
