In line with the growing religious, political and social violence around the world, this study evaluates the psychometric properties of a new scale for Detecting Extremism and Religious Radicalism (SERR), a self-report measure of extremism and religious radicalism.
Factor analyses, validity and reliability data were collected using a sample of 1985 participants from 58 different cities around Spain who self-identified as actively practicing their religion.
Statistical analyses of SERR scores yielded acceptable internal consistency scores (ω > .74) and confirmed key factors associated with radicalism and extremism. The structure of the scale was confirmed as two-dimensional (χ2(64) = 361.22, p < .001, CFI = 0.976, TLI = 0.970, RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.089 (0.080 - 0.098), SRMR = 0.064). Scores for the extremism dimension correlated significantly and positively with scores for the same factor on the Activism and Radicalism Intention Scales (r = .32, p < .001, n = 139).
The SERR demonstrates adequate reliability and validity for evaluating the degree of extremism and radicalism in Christian/Catholic and Muslim believers.
随着世界各地宗教、政治和社会暴力的不断增长,本研究评估了一种新的极端主义和宗教激进主义检测量表(SERR)的心理测量学特性,这是一种自我报告的极端主义和宗教激进主义测量工具。
使用来自西班牙 58 个不同城市的 1985 名参与者的样本,通过因素分析、有效性和可靠性数据进行收集,这些参与者自我认定为积极实践其宗教信仰。
SERR 分数的统计分析得出了可接受的内部一致性分数(ω>.74),并证实了与激进主义和极端主义相关的关键因素。该量表的结构被确认为二维结构(χ2(64) = 361.22,p<.001,CFI = 0.976,TLI = 0.970,RMSEA(90%CI)= 0.089(0.080 - 0.098),SRMR = 0.064)。极端主义维度的分数与激进主义和激进意图量表上的同一因素的分数显著正相关(r =.32,p<.001,n = 139)。
SERR 在评估基督教/天主教和穆斯林信徒的极端主义和激进主义程度方面具有足够的信度和效度。
