Description

One hundred and thirteen students were analyzed with ChatGPT to rank (1-7) each story’s alignment with the Jubilee Centre’s four virtues categories: intellectual, performance, moral, and civic. There was acceptable interrater reliability (Cronbach’s α’s = .60-.67). Moral virtues were the most prominently expressed (M = 6.11), followed by performance (M = 5.71), intellectual (M = 5.31), and civic virtues (M = 4.93). Bonferroni-corrected comparisons show moral virtues are significantly more prominent than civic, t(112) = 11.66, p < .001, d = 1.10; intellectual, t(112) = 7.51, p < .001, d = 0.71; and performance virtues, t(112) = 3.85, p < .001, d = 0.36.
