      ab: Values have been a staple in the study of the psychology of morality, but the construct of worldview, in particular, fundamental assumptions related to personal epistemology, can also shed light on the field. In the exploratory correlational study presented in this chapter, worldview beliefs made a significant contribution, apart from morality beliefs, to explaining an individual's tendency to rely on either intrinsic or extrinsic decision-making referents. Although worldview beliefs and morality beliefs were largely independent, multivariate models that included both types of beliefs often were more predictive of an individual's preference for intrinsic or extrinsic referents. Core worldview beliefs seemed to be foundational to decision-making, and scholarship in the psychology of morality would benefit from considering the influence of worldviews. Also, effective ethics training, in addition to providing instruction in ethical skills, should engage students' worldviews and effect incremental transformation over the course of time.
