Assessing Attitude towards Religion: The Astley-Francis Scale of Attitude towards Theistic Faith
Astley, Jeff; Francis, Leslie J.; Robbins, Mandy
British Journal of Religious Education, v34 n2 p183-193 2012
This study builds on the research tradition modelled by the Francis Scale of Attitude towards Christianity, the Katz-Francis Scale of Attitude towards Judaism, the Sahin-Francis Scale of Attitude towards Islam and the Santosh-Francis Scale of Attitude towards Hinduism to propose a generic instrument concerned with attitudes towards theistic faith. The scale properties of this new instrument, established among a sample of 284 (200 female and 84 male) 16-18-year-old students, commend it for use in future research. (Contains 1 table.)
