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.

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 = 506). In the second s
