Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality (BMMRS)

Scale name

The BMMRS contains 38 items organized in several groups or subscales and is available from Fetzer (1999).

Subscales

Here is a list of the subscales. The subscale names are in bold italics. I included the number of items and a sample item for each subscale.

Daily Spiritual Experiences is a six-item measure. Each item is rated on a scale from many times a day (1) to never or almost never (6). A sample item is “I feel God’s presence.”

Private Religious Practices is a four-item measure. Each item is rated on a 6-point scale from more than once a day (1) to once a month (6). A sample item is “How often do you pray privately in places other than at church?”

Religious and Spiritual Coping is a seven-item measure. Items are rated on a 4-point scale from a great deal (1) to not at all (4). A sample item is “I think about how my life is part of a larger spiritual force.”

Religious Support is a four-item measure to find out how much support congregants expect to receive from their congregations. The items are rated on a 4-point scale from a great deal (1) to none (4). A sample item is “If you were ill, how much would the people in your congregation help you out?”

Religious commitment is an important aspect of faith measured on a brief scale, which includes a mix of five items measured in different ways. One example rated on a 6-point scale—more than once a week (1) to never (6)—is “How often do you go to religious services?” An open-ended item asks the average amount of contributions per month or year.

Statistical properties are available in a downloadable report booklet (See Appendix A on page 89). At the time of this writing, there was no charge for the booklet or to use the items.

Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (PSQ)

The Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire ( PSQ ) Overview The Personal Self-Concept Questionnaire (PSQ) measures self-concept based on ratings of 18 items, which are grouped into four categories: Self-fulfilment, autonomy, honesty, and emotional self-concept.

Reliability and Validity In the first study, coefficient alpha = .85 and in study two, alpha = .83. Data analysis supported a four-dimensional model (see the four categories above). Positive correlations with other self-concept measures were statistically significant. Other notes The authors estimated it took about 10 minutes to complete the PSQ. Their first study included people ages 12 to 36 ( n = 50...
