The internal structure of the Polish adaptation of the Religious Comfort and Strain Scale
Journal Title: Roczniki Psychologiczne - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 4
Abstract
The aim of this article is to present the theoretical background and internal structure of the Polish adaptation of the Religious Comfort and Strain Scale (RCSS) by Yali, Exline, Wood, and Wor-thington. Exploratory Factor Analysis showed that the Polish adaptation of RCSS has four factors: it consists of a one-dimensional Religious Comfort subscale and three subscales regarding religious strain: (1) Negative emotions toward God, (2) Fear-Guilt and (3) Negative social interactions surrounding religion. The scale's reliability and construct validity are satisfactory. Although fur-ther research is needed, it may be assumed that this tool can be used successfully in research on the functional aspects of religion.
