| Résumé: | This paper describes the construction of the Athwal-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Sikhism, working in the tradition of the Francis Scale of Attitude toward Christianity, the Sahin-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Islam, the Katz-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Judaism, and the Santosh-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Hinduism. Drawing on data provided by 90 self-assigned 13- to 15-year-old Sikh students attending year-nine and year-ten classes in a state-maintained school in England with a Sikh foundation, the 24 items selected from a larger pool of items to comprise the Athwal-Francis Scale of Attitude toward Sikhism displayed good properties of internal consistency reliability and construct validity. No significant difference in mean scale scores was found between male students and female students, or between year-nine students and year-ten students. The instrument is commended for further use. |
