| Summary: | The present study examines the concurrent validity of the Francis Attitude Scale toward Christianity using multi-item measures of the intrinsic, extrinsic, and Quest religious orientation constructs. Across United States (N = 70, N = 94), English (N = 81, N = 109), Northern Ireland (N = 65, N = 76), and Republic of Ireland (N = 62) residents, scores on the Francis scale shared high significant positive correlations with intrinsic religiosity, moderate significant positive correlations with extrinsic-personal religiosity, and significant correlations with extrinsic-social religiosity. Further, among Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland adult samples, the Francis Attitude Scale was moderately related to aspects of the quest orientation toward religion. The present findings suggest that Francis Attitude Scale can be largely viewed as a measure of personal religiosity. |
