Background/Description
The Dogmatic and Personal Religiosity Scale (DPR-Scale) is a self-report questionnaire developed by Lind and Kietzig (2011) to measure two distinct dimensions of religiosity: dogmatic and personal religiosity.
Dogmatic religiosity is characterized by a rigid and inflexible adherence to religious beliefs and practices. It is often associated with intolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty, and a belief in the absolute truth of one’s own religious beliefs.
Personal religiosity, on the other hand, is characterized by a more personal and experiential relationship with God or a higher power. It is often associated with feelings of love, trust, and intimacy with God, as well as a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
To assess the dogmatic religiosity of students from different institutes, a modified version of the Dogmatic and Personal Religiosity Scale (DPR-Scale) was used. The original 19-item scale was translated into Urdu and the personal religiosity subscale was removed due to cultural irrelevance. Additional items related to fundamental Muslim faith and Islamic Sharia were added to assess the practical dimension of belief.
A pretest study showed that the modified scale had good construct validity and high internal consistency reliability. The item asking about belief in the Bible was replaced with an item asking about belief in the Quran. The modified scale mostly consists of questions about fundamental Muslim faith, which are classified as dogmatic because they require blind faith.
Administration, Scoring and Interpretation
To administer the Dogmatic and Personal Religiosity Scale (DPR-Scale), you can follow these steps:
- Provide participants with a copy of the scale and explain the instructions. Instruct participants to read each statement carefully and indicate their level of agreement on a 4-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Agree, 4 = Strongly agree).
- Allow participants sufficient time to complete the scale.
- Collect the scales and score them according to the instructions. To score the scale, sum the scores for each item in the dogmatic and personal religiosity subscales. Higher scores indicate higher levels of dogmatic or personal religiosity, respectively.
Reliability and Validity
The results showed a significant positive correlation (r = .535, p < .01) between original test items and additional items showing a good construct validity and high internal consistency reliability with Cronbach’s alpha value of .736.
