Available at CRAN: https://cran.r-project.org/package=qcv
Instructions for installing qcv package based on the tar.gz file (below) – Installing an R package
qcv package – qcv_1.0.tar.gz

IV. Moral Relativism Scale (MRS) and Moral Tolerance Scale (MTS)
To access the MRS and MTS as introduced by Collier-Spruel et al. (2019, Journal of Personality):

V. Effect sizes: Definitions, computation, and links to significance tests
The document below does several things:
- Presents algebraic definitions for a variety of effect sizes often used in psychological research (e.g., correlation, Cohen’s d, Eta Squared, etc). This conveys the effect sizes’ meaning and allows their computation.
- Articulates the algebraic links among those effect sizes, allowing transformation from one to another.
- Articulates the algebraic links between the effect sizes and relevant inferential statistics, allowing transformations from one to another

VI. SAS syntax for decomposing profile similarity (non-exchangeable dyads, based on Furr 2008)
To access the syntax in different formats:
SAS syntax file for computing the components of profile similarity: profile1.sas
MS Word version of the SAS file: profile1.doc
Please note that this SAS syntax computes the correct values for “Global Normativeness.” The values in the published article are not correct (they are based on only the first four traits, not all five).
Also note that Ryne Sherman’s multicon package provides R functions (Profile.norm() and Profile.r()) that conduct analyses based upon Furr’s (2008) decomposition. That package is available at CRAN.
