Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine metric characteristics of the structured questionnaire on religiosity for respondents of the Islamic faith, and to establish its structural validity and reliability. The study was conducted on a sample of 230 respondents (70 male and 160 female students). Factor analysis singled out three latent factors or dimensions of religiosity around which the given claims were grouped. The first isolated factor explained 19% of variance, and grouped the claims related to the acceptance of the fundamental postulates of the Islamic faith, with an emphasis on cognitive internalization of the beliefs and perceptions of Allah, in accordance with Islamic postulates. The second isolated factor explained 13% of variance, and grouped the claims related to religious orthopraxy - performing prayers. The third factor explained 10% of variance and grouped the claims related to interpersonal relationships with other people in accordance with Islamic postulates. Consequently, it was concluded that the aforementioned questionnaire examined and measured three dimensions of religiosity of the respondents of the Islamic faith. The acceptance and internalization of the fundamental postulates of the Islamic faith, with an emphasis on an internalized belief and perception of Allah represents the primary dimension of religiosity. The performance of prayer, through which a close connection with Allah is achieved, and which reinforces the belief, represents the second dimension, while the interpersonal relationship with other people in accordance with Islamic postulates represents the third dimension. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the questionnaire is α = 0.950, which indicates that this is a highly homogenized research instrument, whose claims are in a high degree of correlation.
