The Validation of Skala Ritual Religious Harian Muslim (Daily Moslem Religious Rituals Scale)

Abstract

Abstract-The scale of Ritual Religius Harian Muslim or RRHM (Daily Moslem Religious Rituals) is a scale comprising seven daily Moslem religious rituals, classified into two categories, namely obligatory rituals and Sunnah rituals. In this research, the scale is applied towards 634 Moslem teenagers chosen from several high school in Bandung, Indonesia. The research aims at testing the validity of the scale construction, involving three validity analyses: 1) factorial validity analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, 2) convergent validity performed by finding correlation between RRHM and other religiosity instruments, and 3) discriminant validity performed by correlating RRHM with another variable-teenage mischief-which, theoretically, correlating negatively. Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis statistical method, it is found that RRHM has factors fitting two ritual categories, namely obligatory and Sunnah. Moreover, the scale shows both positive convergent and discriminant validity. The scale convergence is proven by the strong correlation between RRHM and the other religiosity instrument, namely Comprehensive Measure of Islamic Religiousity, with the coefficient placed at 0.349 and spirituality score placed at 0.469. The RRHM instrument also shows positive discriminant validity, for the instrument correlates negatively with the factor of mischief, placing coefficient at -0.491, making it in line with the main theory used. The implementation of the scale can be developed towards other subjects, such as Moslem adults. Furthermore, it is advised to perform different tests and hypothesis in measuring the extent to which the RRHM is able to verify developing theories in the psychology of religion or the psychology of religiosity and spirituality.

The Pitfalls of Religiosity Measurements in Muslim Consumer Research

“…On the other hand, some measurements developed in psychology were assessed with other intended variables (Abu Raiya et al, 2008;Ihsan et al, 2017;Krauss et al, 2005;Tiliouine & Belgoumidi, 2009). PMIR tested several variables such as general satisfaction, well-being, purpose in life, good physical health, lower depressed mood, lower angry feelings, lower alcohol abuse, and good physical health (Abu Raiya et al, 2008).…”

Strategi Islamic Parenting Terhadap Dinamika Pendidikan Karakter Dan Spiritualitas Anak Dalam Menghadapi Society 5.0

“…Sebaliknya religiusitas secara substantif dikaitkan dengan keyakinan formal, praktik kelompok, dan institusi. Jadi secara umum yang membedakan spiritualitas dan religiusitas adalah bahwa spiritualitas itu pencarian keberadaaan Tuhan, sementara itu religiusitas adalah cara pencarian terhadap Tuhan (Ihsan, Chotidjah, et al, 2017). Sebagai umat islam, karakter dan religiositas perlu dibangun sejak dini.…”

Peran Implementasi Kurikulum Dalam Meningkatkan Religiusitas Mahasiswa

“…Alquran sebagai sumber aturan keagamaan agama Islam, menyatakan dalam surat Al Baqoroh ayat 177: Kebajikan itu bukanlah menghadapkan wajahmu ke arah timur dan ke barat, tetapi kebajikan itu ialah (kebajikan) orang yang beriman kepada Allah, hari akhir, malaikat-malaikat, kitab-kitab, dan nabi-nabi dan memberikan harta yang dicintainya kepada kerabat, anak yatim, orang-orang miskin, orang-orang yang dalam perjalanan (musafir), pemintaminta, dan untuk memerdekakan hamba sahaya, yang melaksanakan shalat dan menunaikan zakat, orang-orang yang menepati janji apabila berjanji, dan orang yang sabar dalam kemelaratan, penderitaan dan pada masa peperangan. Mereka itulah orang-orang yang benar, dan mereka itulah orang-orang yang bertakwa (Ihsan, Chotidjah, et al, 2017).…”

“…Religiositas berkorelasi negatif dengan perilaku menyimpang lain selain penggunaan narkoba (Ihsan, Herlina, & Chotidjah, 2017) seperti perilaku seksual (Adamczyk & Hayes, 2012). Di Amerika, religiusitas mahasiswa ditemukan berhubungan negatif dengan pengalaman seksual.…”
