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.

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.

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.
