Description
Summary:A 54-item multiple-choice test was developed to measure the cognitive component of attitude toward one specific concept of church. Validity and reliability were established. The rationale for the test is based on the need for multidimensional measurement, and the result is a scale which demonstrates how to delineate and measure one carefully defined referent. The scale illustrates a marked psychometric advance over the conceptually vague and undifferentiated Chave-like scale, but is not yet refined by factor analysis.
