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.

Academic Self-Efficacy Scale ASE

Overview The Academic Self-Efficacy Scale is an application of Self-Efficacy Theory to examine the relationship between self-efficacy and academic performance using 8-items rated on a 7-point scale. The work of Chemers et al. (2001) has been widely cited. Format The 8-items are rated on a 7-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 = Very Untrue to 7 = Very True. Sample Items 2. I know how to take notes. 6. I usually do very well in school and at academic tasks. Reliability, Validity, and Other Research notes In the article describing the development and use of the ASE, the authors observed: “As predicted, academic self-efficacy was significantly and directly related to academic expectations and academic performance.” (Chemers et al., 2001, p. 61) Sutton et al. (2011) reported Cronbach's alpha of .83 in their study of academic self-esteem and personal strengths. ASE was highly positively correlated with ACT scores (.24) and GPA (.39)....

High scores representing self-control were associated with academic success and better relationships whereas low scores were correlated with personal problems and problem relationships.
