Reliability: In a 2018 article, Whitehead et al.
reported Cronbach’s alpha of 0.86 for the six items.
Validity: See the Factor Analysis reported by
Whitehead et al. (2018) and a different analysis by Davis (2022). Several
studies report predictive validity—see for example Davis (2022).
Availability: The items can be found in various
sources. Such as Davis (2022). Davis traced the history of the items to Baylor
Religion Survey (BRS), Wave II (2007). However, see the items on the 2005 BRS
survey
