This article investigates and systematizes methods for measuring folk beliefs about the objectivity of morality. The relevance of the topic stems from the growing interest in understanding how ordinary people, without philosophical training, perceive the nature of moral norms and their objectivity. Based on an analysis of existing approaches to measuring folk metaethical claims, the author demonstrates the diversity of methodological tools used in contemporary research. It is shown that «the disagreement paradigm» remains the most common approach, while alternative methods such as measuring implicit attitudes, direct questioning, and others also exist. The author argues that the proposed systematization of methods can provide a foundation for the further development of research in the sociology of morality and metaethics.
