Construction, validation and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of positive and negative image questionnaire of God based on Islamic sources

The purpose of the current research was to construct, validate and the factor structure of the positive and negative image questionnaire of God and  to determine its psychometric properties. The method was content analysis and the survey method by selecting 212 people from the statistical population of students by stratified random sampling. Content validity of  each item was confirmed if its minimum CVR was 0.99 and CVI index was 0.79.  To evaluate the validity of the construct exploratory factor analysis method was used,  with principal components method, Varimax rotation and Kaiser Normation  and higher eigenvalue of one  also used and confirmatory factor analysis with the help of SPSS26 and AMOS24 software were used. The findings indicate that two factors "positive image of God" (29.969) and "negative image of God" (21.197) were obtained, which in total (51.167) estimates the variance percentage of the entire questionnaire. The validity of positive image of God and negative image of God in Gutman's two-half method (0.779), (0.843), Spearman's coefficient (0.796), (0.852) and Cronbach's alpha coefficient value of positive image, respectively of God (0.835), and Cronbach's alpha coefficient of negative perception of God (0.914) was obtained. Therefore, the obtained results indicate the ability of questionnaire to be used in research studies.
