Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Theistic Faith Scale (Francis, Brockett, & Village, 2013). The sample of this study consisted of 266 undergraduate students. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the 7 items and uni-dimensional theistic faith model was well fit (x²= 18.05, df= 11, RMSEA= .050, GFI= .98, CFI= .99, AGFI= .95, IFI= .99, and SRMR= .025). The internal consistency reliability coefficient of the scale was .83. The corrected item-total correlations ranged from .33 to .67. Overall findings demonstrated that this scale had high validity and reliability scores.
