Scale items: The authors (Ji & Ibrahim, 2007b) reported two factors: Cognitive-Abstract Orthodoxy (CAO) and Ritualistic-Judgmental Orthodoxy (RJO).

The items assess agreement with Islamic teachings on Allah, Mohammed the Prophet, the Koran, the five pillars of Islam, and the last judgment.

Examples

CAO: “I believe there is no other God but Allah”

RJO: “Salah is crucial to the life of a Muslim”

Psychometric properties

Overall alpha was high at .90 (Ji & Ibrahim, 2007a). The alpha levels for the subscales were also high (Ji & Ibrahim, 2007b) CAO = .93 and RJO = .83.

The correlation of the IDO with Intrinsic religiosity was low but reliable (.17). There were no significant relationships between the IDO and measures of Extrinsic religiosity or Quest (Ji & Ibrahim, 2007a).

Availability: The items can be found in Ji and Ibrahim (2007a).
