“…Relativism and external critique, which are the measures of the religious attitudes in a secularized context, correlated negatively with centrality (Bartczuk et al 2011). These results are supported by Rydz and Wieradzka-Pilarczyk (2018) research, which showed that people with internalized religious identity status had higher scores in centrality, whereas people seeking religious identity status had lower scores in centrality. The research on emotions and attachment to God further broadened these findings.…”

Centrality of Religiosity Scale in Polish Research: A Curvilinear Mechanism that Explains the Categories of Centrality of Religiosity

The centrality of religiosity scale (CRS) is a measure of the importance of religious constructs in personality. The Polish CRS has been applied in more than 40 published studies on the psychology of religion, with over 18,000 total participants. However, no comprehensive overview on the Polish CRS is available. This paper shows how using the CRS sheds light on different patterns in which religion integrates with other psychological variables. It consists of three parts: first, we introduce the Polish adaptation of the CRS; second, we present the review of the research using the Polish CRS; and finally, we provide research results that suggest a curvilinear mechanism for explaining the categories of the centrality of religiosity. Three measures were applied to the research: the CRS, emotions toward God scale, and content of prayer scale-revised. The results indicated that there is a curvilinear relationship between centrality of religiosity and emotions toward God, prayer types, and styles of request prayer (excluding passive request prayer). We determined the changepoints at which the relationship between the centrality of religiosity and the religious contents changes. This finding allowed us to provide empirical confirmation of Huber’s thesis (2003) that there is a different way of operating low, medium, and high scores in centrality, namely marginal, subordinated, and central religiosity. The study also broadens our understanding of each of these types of religiosity.

“…Later, a dimension of ruminative exploration has been added to the model (Luyckx et al 2008). Rydz and Wieradzka-Pilarczyk (2017) developed the scale measuring the dimensions of this model in the religious domain.…”

Construction of a religious identity status questionnaire

This study presents a construction and psychometric evaluation of the Religious Identity Status Questionnaire -RISQ for the assessment of the religious identity status according to Marcia's ego identity status approach. The initial item pool was generated based on Erikson's theory of psychosocial development, Marcia's ego identity status approach and interviews with adolescents and young adults. A factor analysis of the initial item pool was performed on data obtained from a sample of 394 secondary school and university students from Serbia to select items for the questionnaire. Validity of the questionnaire was examined on a sample of 1155 subjects. The results of the CFA suggest that subscales of the RISQ measure four factors corresponding to the identity statuses of Marcia's model. Correlations with ideological identity subscales of the EOM-EIS-2 suggest the convergent validity of the questionnaire. Configural measurement invariance was established for gender and denominational groups. Metric invariance was established for gender and among orthodox and catholic participants, whereas scalar invariance was established for gender, but not for denominational groups. Highlights:• The RISQ is based on Marcia's ego identity status model. and allows the assessment of religious ego identity status. • Results support construct and convergent validity of the RISQ. • Gender groups show full scalar invariance, while only configural invariance is supported for denominational groups.

“…As a result, intergroup contact is regarded as one of the most effective means of reducing prejudice (Boin et al 2021). Contact between groups to minimize religious prejudice has been widely employed in a variety of social contexts, including education and teaching in schools and universities with the use of terminology, including 'interfaith learning' (Goldberg 2020;Mayhew and Rockenbach 2021), 'inter-religious education' or 'interfaith education' (e.g., Engebretson et al 2010;Wielzen and Avest 2017), and 'inter-faith dialogue' or 'inter-religious dialogue' (Ariarajah 2019;Rydz and Wieradzka-Pilarczyk 2017). The concept behind interfaith learning is that strong interfaith interactions underlie the acquisition of knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors for positive relationships among people of different religions or worldviews (Mayhew and Rockenbach 2021;Rockenbach et al 2020;Wielzen and Avest 2017).…”

Intervention Program to Reduce Religious Prejudice in Education Settings: A Scoping Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In a plural society, education has an important role in preparing students to be able to live together with differences, including religious differences. Based on the contact hypothesis theory, various intervention programs have been carried out to overcome religious prejudice. This study aims to explore the concept, form, and impact of the interfaith intervention program in reducing religious prejudice in the context of education. The method used was a scoping review following the PRISMA-ScR protocol. Articles were searched online from the SAGE, Science Direct, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. There were six journal articles in the period 2012–2021 that were included based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria set. The results of this scoping review synthesized concepts, forms, and impacts, as well as research methods related to interfaith intervention programs to reduce religious prejudice in the education settings. We discussed the implications and directions for further research in research for the design, implementation, and evaluation of intergroup contact-based learning in education settings, especially higher education.
