“…The European Portuguese version of the BIAC was found to have solid internal reliability (α = .86), above of the recommended value of .70 (Taber, 2018). In comparison with the original study, the internal reliability was found to be similar (α = .89) (Koenig et al 2015a), as well as that found in Farsi and Chinese versions of the BIAC (Hafizi, Tabatabaei, Memari, Saghazadeh, & Koenig, 2016; Wang, Ma, Rong, & Koenig, 2016).…”

“…Previous studies that have examined PCA with an oblique rotation have also reported the emergence of two factors that were highly correlated supporting the results here. For example, Hafizi et al (2016) found a two-factor solution for the Farsi version of the BIAC that explained 58.0% of the variance, and again, the two factors were highly correlated ( r = 0.537). This is comparable to our findings of a two-factor solution explaining 60.8% of the variance, with a correlation between the two factors of r = 0.582.…”

“…Item 9 also had the lowest score among all items on the scale, perhaps reflecting the infrequent volunteering for religious reasons among cancer patients in Portugal. Thus, this item was eliminated from the European Portuguese version of the BIAC, which now contrasts with other versions of the scale (Koenig et al, 2015a; Hafizi et al, 2016; Wang et al, 2016).…”

Background: A large proportion of the world’s population have religious beliefs, with 84.0% indicating an affiliation with a specific religious group. Few comprehensive measures to assess religious involvement currently exist in Portugal, particularly for the assessment of religiosity in cancer patients. Objective: To translate, adapt, and validate the 10-item Belief Into Action Scale (BIAC) in Portuguese cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method: The methodological guidelines provided by Sousa and Rojjanasrirat were used to examine the psychometric properties of the BIAC. Results: The linguistic and conceptual equivalence of the scale was determined. The internal consistency was acceptable (Cronbach’s α = .86). Varimax rotation with Kaiser normalization identified two factors made up of nine items. Conclusion: The European Portuguese version of the BIAC is a reliable and valid measure for assessing religiosity in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy to provide holistic care.

“…Therefore, BIAC scale was developed and has been incorporated in the studies within different contexts. It is proved to provide valid measures for people's religiosity in diverse religious groups (Hafizi et al, 2016;Koenig et al, 2015;Martins et al, 2020). The basis for content in the BIAC scale is the importance of religion in a person's life, such as how they spend their time, talents, and financial resources related to their religious belief (Koenig et al, 2015).…”

This present study investigates the moderating effect of celebrity endorsers' perceived religiosity in the relationship between dimensions in source credibility theory and consumers' purchase intention. A self-administered survey was conducted using mock-up stimuli to 505 respondents in major universities located in Jakarta, Indonesia. Subsequently, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was employed, followed by regression analysis using AMOS 24.0 to test the hypotheses. The results revealed that endorsers' perceived religiosity significantly strengthened the influences of trustworthiness and attractiveness dimensions toward consumers' purchase intention. Conversely, perceived religiosity did not significantly strengthen the effect of expertise on consumers' purchase intention. Theoretically, this present study fulfills the knowledge gap of the influence of perceived religiosity construct on the relationship between source credibility dimensions and consumers' purchase intention. While practically, this present study provides suggestions for marketers to involve the celebrity's perceived religiosity dimensions to increase their endorsement campaigns' credibility and effectiveness.

Singh, Junnarkar, Snehlata, and Kaur (2016) report among a sample of 826 Hindu speaking Indian adults, the satisfactory psychometric properties of the Hindi version of the Meaning in Life Questionnaire.…”
