A Scale Study on Attitudes Related to Laicity
Abstract
The aim of this study was to develop a scale with regard to the attitudes related to laicity. The sample of the study consisted of 522 university students (46,2 % female, 53,6 % male) from various faculties and departments. The 11-item scale prepared by the researchers had a seven point Likert type answer category. When the factor analyses was examined, the most meaningful structure seemed to be the one-component structure that explained 43,5 % of the variance. The Cronbach Alpha coefficients were found to be ,86 for the Laicity Attitude Scale. Significant relationships were found in the negative direction between the religion and belief level and the Laicity Attitude Scale. The variance analysis results where the scale was examined according to the political opinion indicated that the scale was able to distinguish with respect to the different ideologies. While the Socialist/Leftist/Communist/Revolutionist group received the highest score in the scale (n=142, mean=64.55, std. dev.=12.06), the Conservative group received the lowest score (n=43, mean= 40.49, std. dev.=12.69).
