Notes:

J-justice, R-relativism, C-contractualism and U-utilitarianism. Extraction method = principal axis factoring. Rotation method = Varimax with Kaiser normalization. Rotation converged in 6 iterations. Factor scores method = Anderson–Rubin. Factor loadings greater than 0.40 appear in italics (Field, 2009)
