  • Hill, P. C., & Hood, R. W. (1999). Measures of religiosity. Birmingham, AL: Religious Education Press. This book includes detailed evaluation of the psychometric properties of many measures of religiosity, which, of course, overlaps considerably with spirituality. In nearly all cases, the actual text of the measures is included. The sixteen principal areas covered by the 117 scales (not counting nine further scales measuring related constructs) are: Religious Beliefs and Practices, Religious Attitudes, Religious Orientation, Religious Development, Religious Commitment and Involvement, Religious Rxperience, Religious/ Moral Values or Personal Characteristics, Multidimensional SCales, Religious Coping and Problem-Solving, Spirituality and Mysticism, God Concept, Religious Fundamentalism, Views of Death/ Afterlife, Divine Intervention/Religious Attribution, Forgiveness, Institutional Religion. Excellent.
