Reliability of the Maranell Theism Scale among Ghanaian, Nigerian, Northern Irish and Swazi university students

The reliability of the 12-item Theism Sub-Scale of the Maranell Religious Attitudes Scale was examined among four cross-cultural samples. 186 Ghanaian, 177 Nigerian, 140 Northern Irish, and 74 Swaziland university students completed the Theism Scale. Across all four cultural groups data confirmed the reliability and unidimensionality of the scale. The Theism Scale is commended for further research. © 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
