A recent review of spirituality measures identified the Faith Maturity Scale (FMS; Benson, Donahue, & Erickson, 1993) as a potentially useful instrument because of its basis in faith behavior, its development in a national sample, and its psychometric properties. Using a diverse faith sample of...

520 |a A recent review of spirituality measures identified the Faith Maturity Scale (FMS; Benson, Donahue, & Erickson, 1993) as a potentially useful instrument because of its basis in faith behavior, its development in a national sample, and its psychometric properties. Using a diverse faith sample of 1,288 women and 498 men, this study evaluated the psychometric properties of the 12-item short form of this scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses indicated that two correlated factors well represented the internal structure of the scale while correlations with measures of religious behavior and spirituality supported its construct validity. Most notable were correlations with measures of emotional maturity, personal meaning and prosocial behavior, which highlighted the FMS scale's personological predictive breadth. These associations were maintained even after the effects of personality were controlled. Such incremental validity supports the utility of the FMS as a measure of religiousness independent of existing personality constructs.
