Abstract
For use in Lutheran and other Protestant samples this author has evaluated Batson & Ventis' Doctrinal Orthodoxy Scale and Woodrum's Moral Conservatism Index, and developed and evaluated Kaldestad's Liberal Belief Scale, and Kaldestad's Humanistic Morality Scale. The content validity, the discriminant validity, the internal consistency, the factor structure and the inter-correlations of the scales have been investigated in three Norwegian samples. Only subjects with some positive attitude to Christianity were included in the samples. These two scales for assessment of doctrinal belief and these two scales for assessment of moral attitudes are found to be satisfactory and fruitful for use in the empirical research in the psychology of religion in Lutheran and other Protestant samples in Norway, and they should also be considered for use internationally.
