God Images 4 Different Scales

Scale name: God Images (4 different but related scales)

Scales overview

The researchers evaluated 16-items describing different god-images. Confirmatory factor analysis yielded four factors, which are the four subscales each having four items.

Authors: Nguyen & Zuckerman (2016)

Response Type

All items are rated on a 7-point Likert-type rating: 1 (This does NOT reflect my belief AT ALL) to 7 (This reflects my belief COMPLETELY).

Subscales (4) with a sample item (each scale has 4 items)

1. Relational God

I feel I am close to God

2. God-as-provider

Those who believe in God will be rewarded.

3. God-as-ruler

Events that happen in this world are part of God’s plan.

4. God-as-creator

God made the world and all the creatures in it.

Psychometrics

See the 2016 article below for the results of factor analysis, differences between men and women, and the relationship of God images to other measures.

Research Note

In general, women had stronger beliefs in God than did men. There were differences in the relationship between God image and depression for women and men. There were no significant associations between any of the four God Images and depression for men. But for women, depressive symptoms were higher for those seeing God as ruler and creator and lower for women who tended to view God as relational and provider.

It is a likert-type rating scale with high internal consistency values and has been used with youth and adults. Subscales : The PSQ has four subscales 1. Self-fulfilment (6 items) 2. Autonomy (4 items) 3. Honesty (3 items) 4. Emotional self-concept (5 items) 👉 [ Read more about Self-Concept and Self-Identity] The PSQ is a Likert-type scale with five response options ranging from totally disagree to totally agree. 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 e...

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)....
