Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the Christian Faith life scales based ontheology. The scale consists of a relationship with God, religious beliefs, and assessment of life. In this study, preliminary questions were selected through previous studies. As a result of theexploratory factor analysis, 18 items of three factors that satisfy factor loading (>.5), crossloading (<.32), commonality (>.4), and reliability (>.8) were extracted. As a result of theconfirmatory factor analysis, CMIN/DF (2.572), RMSEA (.073), TLI (.938), and CFI (.947) met thecriteria to confirm model fit, and convergent validity and discriminant validity were alsoconfirmed. In addition, criterion-related validity was confirmed through the ReligiousCommitment Inventory scale, the Religious Orientation Scale, and the Biblical Heart Inventory. The significance of this study is that it developed a Christian Faith Life scales based on theologyfor Koreans. This study has limitations in that the Christian faith life was defined according tothe view of a theologian, and that it was difficult for the sample to represent the population. As a follow-up study, the Christian Faith Life scales can be developed through the views ofother theologians, and scales that can represent the population through a richer and morediverse sample can be developed.
