Religious Life Inventory- REVISED

 


Assessment name:  Religious Life Inventory- Revised (RLI-R)

Scale overview: The Religious Life Inventory-Revised (RLI-R) is a 24-item revision of the original Religious Life Inventory (RLI).

The Religious Life Inventory (RLI) was based on a history of research into the multidimensional construct of religious orientation. Batson and Schoenrade (1991a, 1991b) drew upon the work of Allport and Ross (1967) when creating the RLI. The original RLI had 78-items, which were rated on a 9-point scale of agreement. The RLI was revised by Hills and others (2005a).

NOTE: This post focuses on the Revised Religious Life Inventory.

Authors: Original: Batson and Schoenrade / Revised: Hills, Francis & Robbins

Response Type: The items assess religious orientation on a 9-point scale of agreement.

  1 = Strongly Agree, 9 = Strongly Disagree

Scale items The three subscales with examples follow.

  Extrinsic scale (7 items)

The primary purpose of prayer is to gain relief and protection.

  Intrinsic scale (9 items)

I read literature about my faith or church.

  Quest scale (8 items)

I am constantly questioning my religious beliefs.

Psychometric properties: The revised measure yielded improved values for internal consistency and an improvement in factor structure. See Hills et al., 2005a.

Availability: The full set of items can be found in the PsycTESTS reference (Hills et al., 2005b).

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)....
