“…The complex literature on the psychological correlates of religion includes alongside dogmatism such constructs as prejudice (Spilka and Reynolds 1965;Vanecko 1966;Hoge and Carroll 1973;Griffin, Gorsuch, and Davis 1987;Billiet 1995), authoritarianism (Gregory 1957;Jones 1958;Weller, Levinbok, Maimon, and Shaham 1975;Altemeyer and Hunsberger 1992;Hunsberger 1996), intolerance of ambiguity (Hassan and Khalique 1981), fascism (Strickland and Shaffer 1971), conservatism (Weima 1965), discriminatory attitudes (Kirkpatrick 1993), ethnocen-trism (Gorsuch andAleshire 1974;Eisinga, Felling, and Peters 1990) and dogmatism (Kilpatrick, Sutker, and Sutker 1970;Mangis 1995). It is important to distinguish dogmatism from these related constructs.…”

A sample of 802 adolescents between the ages of fifteen and sixteen years completed an Anglicized form of the Dommert revision of the Rokeach Dogmatism Scale and the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity, together with the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory. The data demonstrate that attitude toward Christianity and dogmatism are unrelated constructs, although both are related, in different ways, to Eysenck's major dimensions of personality.

“…Alat ukur konservatisme religius sebelumnya telah banyak dikembangkan di Barat, namun hanya terbatas pada pandangan agama secara umum atau spesifik merujuk agama Katolik dan Kristen saja (Odahl-Ruan, Todd, & Wilson, 2017;Weima, 1965). Skala ini tentu saja tidak cocok apabila digunakan untuk mengukur konservatisme religius yang spesifik dalam agama Islam, karena setiap agama memiliki ciri khas tersendiri (Weima, 1965).…”

Islamic conservatism has been said to inspire the rise of intolerance between religions in Indonesia and the growth of radical ideologies which threatens government stability. To understand the rise of Islamic conservatism, two studies were conducted to construct a valid and reliable psychological measurement which is able to measure the level of Islamic conservatism among Indonesian people. This Islamic conservatism scale consists of 5 dimensions with 2-3 indicators for each dimension. The validity testing was conducted using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, while the reliability testing of the instrument was conducted using Cronbach Alpha as internal consistency technique. The testings were conducted twice, in which the first one showed that 5 dimensions-scale is unfit, although reliable. When 2 dimensions with high social desirable items were excluded, the scale with 3 dimensions show a good fit, therefore the scale is valid and also reliable. Second study was conducted to measure convergent validity by correlating the 3-dimension scale with RWA scale. Result shows the scale has a significant positive correlation with RWA indicating the scale has a convergent validity.Keywords: Conservatism, Islam, scale construction, IndonesiaAbstrak: Konservatisme dalam agama Islam di Indonesia telah disebut melatarbelakangi terjadinya kasus-kasus intoleransi antar umat beragama yang mengancam stabilitas negara. Untuk mengukur pertumbuhan konservatisme Islam di Indonesia, dua studi dilakukan untuk mengkonstruksi alat ukur yang valid dan reliabel. Alat ukur yang ini memiliki lima dimensi dengan dua sampai tiga indikator per dimensi. Validitas konstruk alat ukur dilakukan dengan metode Confirmatory Factor Analysis dan reliabilitasnya diuji dengan Cronbach Alpha. Uji validitas dan reliabilitas dilakukan dua kali. Pengujian pertama pada alat ukur dengan 5 dimensi menunjukkan model tidak fit, namun reliabel. Pengujian kedua dilakukan pada alat ukur yang menghilangkan 2 dimensi yang memiliki tingkat social desirability tinggi. Hasilnya pengujian menunjukkan bahwa model alat ukur dengan 3 dimensi fit, yang berarti alat ukur valid. Selain itu alat ukur dengan 3 dimensi bersifat reliabel. Studi kedua dilakukan untuk mengukur validitas konvergen dengan mengkorelasikan alat ukur 3 dimensi dengan skala RWA. Hasil menunjukkan skala ini memiliki korelasi positif yang signifikan dengan RWA, mengindikasikan skala ini memiliki validitas konvergen.

“…However, because of its length, many specialized ques-519 tions, and theological sophistication, its utility is quite restricted. In Holland, Weima (1965) also developed a scale measuring Catholic conservatism. But validity data for this scale were not reported nor is the scale available for English-speaking subjects.…”

Three studies explored some of the dimensions of the present crisis facing the Catholic church. A scale was developed to assess the liberal-conservative nature of this conflict. Study 1, using both liberal and conservative parishes (N = 678), found that although a generalized liberal-conservative dimension exists, six factors emerged with a factor analysis; namely, concerns with authority, the open-closed nature of the Catholic community, marriage issues such as birth control, church regulations, styles of worship, and the church's involvement in sociopolitical issues. Further, the liberal-conservative religious conflict appears to function like other social attitudes in that conservatism is related to greater age and less education. Study 2 investigated the cognitive dimensions of the conflict among 486 ninth and twelfth graders. Liberal religious attitudes were associated with degree and amount of liberal religious education and with achievement, motivation, and intelligence within a liberal context. A strong cognitive component to the liberal-conservative conflict was thus established for younger populations. Study 3 compared 98 pairs of liberal and conservative subjects matched on sex, age, education, and income and still found profound differences on the Liberal-Conservative Scale.
