Moral Grandstanding and Virtue Signaling: Replication Data for Young Men

Sebastian Jungkunz released this social science replication dataset in February 2026 via Harvard Dataverse. It contains the data and syntax required to analyze moral grandstanding and virtue signaling as competitive displays among young men.

Use Cases

• Testing the relationship between 'age' and 'moral grandstanding' scores to identify demographic peaks in competitive display.
• Analyzing 'party affiliation' as a predictor for 'virtue signaling' behaviors in social contexts.
• Executing the provided 'syntax' to verify the original study's findings on male competitive signaling.

Strengths

• Includes original replication syntax for methodology verification
• Focuses on specific psychological constructs like moral grandstanding
• Contains demographic variables including age, gender, and party affiliation

Limitations

• Sample size and total record count are not specified in the source metadata
• Geographic scope of the participants is unknown
• Focus on young men limits the applicability of findings to the general population
