What are people's experiences with religion?

The Santa Clara Strength of Religious Faith Questionnaire (SCSRFQ) is a 10-question measure of people's experiences with religion. The questions measure one variable: religious faith. This survey can be used to explore relationships between religious faith and variables like family relationships, stress, or socioeconomic status. Past research suggests that people who reported stronger religious faith also reported being more forgiving of others (Edwards et al., 2002).

What data is collected? How is it scored?
The following variables are recorded:

• SCSRFQ_religious_faith: Higher scores mean participants have stronger religious faith.

Raw data: 10 questions combined into 1 variable (religious faith). The variable's score ranges from 10-40.

Calculation:
The score is determined by adding the scores of the questions. The Likert scale ranges from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 4 ("strongly agree"), so the sum of the scores will range from 10-40.

• SCSRFQ_religious_faith: Sum of questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
