Objective

The main goal of the Religiosity Measure Scale is to assess the quality of an individual’s religious life, beyond mere participation in religious activities. The scale aims to measure how deeply religion is integrated into the overall personality and life of the individual, examining how religious faith influences their decisions and morality. The goal is to identify levels of maturity that are associated with a deeper understanding and appreciation of religious values.

Analysis

The analysis of the Religiosity Measure Scale involves evaluating various dimensions of religious life, such as:
Personal Development: The extent to which religion contributes to personal growth and self-awareness.
Moral Consistency: The consistency of religious beliefs with moral behavior and decision-making.
Openness and Tolerance: The ability to understand and accept different religious beliefs and practices.
Interpersonal Relationships: The impact of religion on relationships with others, such as compassion and forgiveness.
Participants respond to questions that examine these dimensions, and the answers are analyzed to determine the level of religious maturity.

Scoring

The scoring is done using a Likert scale, where participants evaluate the intensity of their perceptions and practices related to various religious dimensions. The results are analyzed to determine the religious maturity indices. The scale may categorize individuals into different levels of maturity, ranging from initial to advanced levels of religious understanding and practice.
