Development and Validation of the Collegiate Religious Dissonance Scale
Hathcoat, John D.; Cho, Yoonjung; Kim, Sungah
Journal of College and Character, v14 n2 p153-163 May 2013
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate psychometric evidence for the Perceived Collegiate Religious Dissonance Scale among calibration ("n" = 425) and validation ("n" = 326) samples of self-identified Christian undergraduate students. Perceived collegiate religious dissonance is defined as emotional tension resultant from a perceived discrepancy in valued religious views among peers, faculty, family, and the campus environment. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses results supported a theoretically meaningful two-factor structure (i.e., campus-religious and familial- religious dissonance) with high reliabilities. Both factors were statistically significant predictors of school adaptation after controlling for gender, GPA, and the perceived value of religion. (Contains 2 tables and 1 figure.)
