Abstract
In response to suggested limitations associated with the positive valency of conventional scales employed to measure attitudes towards Christianity in previous research among adolescents in Northern Ireland, this paper describes the development of a new scale with negative valency. Item selection, the internal structure of the scale, reliability and construct validity are established on a sample of 875 fourth and fifth year pupils attending ten Catholic and ten Protestant secondary schools in Northern Ireland. Tentative scale norms are presented separately for male and female pupils attending Protestant and Catholic schools in Northern Ireland. Suggestions are offered for the application of the scale in future research.
