Abstract

Background: In line with the growing religious, political and social violence around the world, this study evaluates the psychometric properties of a new scale for Detecting Extremism and Religious Radicalism (SERR), a self-report measure of extremism and religious radicalism.

Method: Factor analyses, validity and reliability data were collected using a sample of 1985 participants from 58 different cities around Spain who self-identified as actively practicing their religion.

Results: Statistical analyses of SERR scores yielded acceptable internal consistency scores (ω > .74) and confirmed key factors associated with radicalism and extremism. The structure of the scale was confirmed as two-dimensional (χ2(64) = 361.22, p < .001, CFI = 0.976, TLI = 0.970, RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.089 (0.080 - 0.098), SRMR = 0.064). Scores for the extremism dimension correlated significantly and positively with scores for the same factor on the Activism and Radicalism Intention Scales (r = .32, p < .001, n = 139).

Conclusions: The SERR demonstrates adequate reliability and validity for evaluating the degree of extremism and radicalism in Christian/Catholic and Muslim believers.

极端主义与宗教激进主义SERR量表的编制与验证。

背景:随着世界范围内日益增长的宗教、政治和社会暴力，本研究评估了一种新的极端主义和宗教激进主义检测量表(SERR)的心理测量特性，这是一种极端主义和宗教激进主义的自我报告测量。方法:对来自西班牙58个不同城市的1985名参与者进行了因子分析，收集了效度和信度数据，这些参与者自认为积极从事宗教活动。结果:SERR评分的统计分析获得了可接受的内部一致性评分(ω > .74)，并确认了与激进主义和极端主义相关的关键因素。量表结构为二维结构(χ2(64) = 361.22, p < .001, CFI = 0.976, TLI = 0.970, RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.089 (0.080 ~ 0.098)， SRMR = 0.064)。极端主义维度的得分与激进主义和激进主义意向量表上相同因素的得分显著正相关(r = 0.32, p < 0.001, n = 139)。结论:SERR在评估基督教/天主教和穆斯林信徒的极端主义和激进主义程度方面具有足够的信度和效度。
