“…Our results are quite similar from those of Liu and Koenig (2013), who found a two-factor solution; however, the study by these authors was carried out in a non-Western and non-Christian society (China), unlike our study. Also, Araújo et al (2021) found two factors in their preliminary study for the Portuguese population. Hafizi et al (2015) assessed the psychometric properties of the Farsi version of the Hoge Intrinsic Religiosity Scale and found a two-factor solution.…”

This study aims to validate, for the Portuguese population, the bidimensional structure of the Hoge Intrinsic Motivation Religiosity Scale (HIMRS) and the four-dimensional structure of the Rohrbaugh and Jessor Religiosity Scale (RJRS); it also aims to establish an association between the two religious scales and religious identity. To this end, an exploratory factor analysis (EFA) with polychoric matrix (for ordinal data) and a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) were carried out. Besides reliability, convergent and discriminant validity were assessed by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, composite reliability (CR), average variance extracted (AVE), and AVE squared roots. The Portuguese versions of the HIMRS and RJRS presented good model fit. These instruments correlated with each other and with religious identity. Differences in religious motivation and in religious identity concerning sociodemographic variables were found: women, divorced, and older participants define themselves as being more spiritual or religious persons than men, single or married, and younger participants. Also, years of education were positively associated with religious intrinsic motivation and negatively associated with religious extrinsic motivation. This study provides two more instruments with adequate properties to assess intrinsic religious motivations, past-year frequency of religious service attendance, and personal religiosity for the Portuguese population.

“…The scoring of one’s responses differentiates three groups: very religious individuals, religious individuals, and non-religious individuals. This scale has been found to have a Cronbach’s alpha (α) coefficient of 0.85 [ 29 , 30 ]. The CRS-5 has been translated to Spanish by study personnel for use in this study.…”

Health literacy is generally low in marginalized groups, leading to delays in accessing care, poor health outcomes, and health disparities. Yet, some individuals in these groups demonstrate higher health literacy and better health outcomes. These exceptional cases exemplify ‘positive deviance’ because they have found ways to be successful where others have not. Identifying the methods, practices, and resources that these individuals have used to gain health literacy and healthcare access may have generalized application to improve health literacy, access to care, and health outcomes. Using the Integrated Model of Health Literacy, the main objectives of this study are to (1) identify facilitators, barriers, and strategies to gain sexual and reproductive health literacy and healthcare access and (2) to explore each of the core domains of health literacy as they relate to successful access of sexual and reproductive healthcare services among individuals identified as positive deviants. For the purposes of this mixed methods community engaged study, positive deviants are defined as Mexican American young women aged 18–29 years old living in Rural Western New York who have accessed sexual and reproductive healthcare within the past year. A community advisory committee will be formed to provide community-engaged guidance and support for the recruitment of participants. Positive deviants will participate in a survey and semi-structured interview. Data collection and analysis will be simultaneous and iterative. Results will provide evidence of positive deviant methods, practices, and strategies to gain health literacy and access to sexual and reproductive healthcare. Findings may reveal characteristics and patterns in the relationship of health literacy and healthcare access that can inform interventions to improve health literacy and make healthcare more accessible for this demographic group and context.

“…The results obtained confirm the existence of a population-adjusted model, allowing the conclusion that the instrument is reliable for assessing the constructs studied. The validation of IRMS and CRS for the Portuguese population is very important, as it provides researchers in the field with valid instruments and psychometric qualities to conduct research in religion and religiosity (Araújo, 2021).…”

Religious morals are important to be explored in each student in participating in learning in the new normal era. The purpose of this study is to develop a religious motivation scale instrument that can be used to photograph students' religious motivation in this new normal era. Research applies ADDIE research and development design. Participants in the development of the religious motivation scale instrument consisted of 2,880 students in junior high schools in grades VII, VIII, and IX spread across Indonesia, which were selected through convenience sampling technique. Analysis of data from filling the religious motivation scale using the Rasch model technique. The results of research and development show that there are two items that are misfit, namely item numbers 8 and 12. Item number 8 reads: "I took lessons to practice the knowledge I gained in order to get a reward from Allah", while item number 12 reads: "The lessons I have followed have strengthened me to stay away from bad deeds". After confirmation, it was found that item number 8 and number 12 were the most difficult items to approve.
