Abstract
ABSTRACT Previously, very little research has been undertaken regarding which religiosity scales better fit the Greek Orthodox context. The aim of the present study was to examine the internal reliability and the convergent validity of the Greek translations of two different religiosity scales, (a) the Francis Scale of Attitudes Towards Christianity (FSATC) and (b) the Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Scale (SCSRFQ). In this study, Greek Orthodox students (N = 317) completed a survey that included both scales. Results showed that the SCSRFQ is a better fit for the Greek Orthodox context, whereas FSATC translation needed to be better calibrated. As a result, three items from the FSATC were omitted in order to meet validity and reliability standards. Recommendations include specific questions modification for the FSATC in order to be better oriented to the Greek Orthodox religious context and to be used in further research.
