Constructing a religiosity scale for student population

Student population, especially the adolescent subgroup, constitutes a major portion of the population and their religious values are indicative of the society's values in the future. As suc,h having a scale to measure this characteristic of the student population is a must. To this end, two forms of a religiosity measure were constructed and tested on a sample of 944 high school and prep school students in Tehran. The internal consistency of both forms was measured to be high (0.97 & 0.96) and the validity of the measure was determined to be adequate.
