Cultural Consonance
Scale
overview: The Scale
of Religious Cultural Consonance is a 27-item measure of the cultural
expectations of a religious group. Respondents indicate their self-rating on a
4-point scale, which will result in a measure of consonance with the cultural
expectations. In the study, the list reflected expectations of Brazilian Pentecostals.
