| Abstract: | In order to contribute to a growing international research programme concerned with the correlates, antecedents and consequences
of individual differences in attitude toward religion, the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity was translated into
Romanian and applied within a cultural context shaped by the Greek Orthodox tradition. Data provided by a sample of 158 students
(mainly in their late teens and early twenties) supported the internal consistency reliability, re-test reliability and construct
validity of this instrument and commended it for further use in studies conducted in Romania.
Portions of this research were conducted while the second author was at the “A.D. Xenopol” Public Library, Arad, Romania.
Partial financial support was provided to the second author by the Arad County Council through the Arad County Cultural Centre.
We thank Mihaela Blaga, and Carmen Ispas for their assistance in data collection and translation. |
