Abstract

Nonbelievers represent an understudied population in Greece. This investigation reports on the translation, cultural adaptation, and initial validation of the Nonreligious-Nonspiritual Scale (NRNSS), a measure designed to assess nonbelief. Data from 1754 participants were collected to examine the psychometric properties of the Greek version of the instrument and to assess the nationwide interpretability of the measure. Factor analyses suggested that the 16-item scale retained its bifactor model. Convergent validity was supported through associations with additional measures, namely, the Meaning in Life Questionnaire (MLQ) and the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), which were used as reference criteria. Potential utility of the measure and future directions for ongoing development are discussed.
估计不信仰:翻译、文化适应和非宗教-非精神量表在全国希腊样本中的统计验证
在希腊,不信教的人是一个未被充分研究的群体。本调查报告了非宗教-非精神量表(NRNSS)的翻译、文化适应和初步验证,NRNSS是一种评估非信仰的措施。研究人员收集了1754名参与者的数据,以检验希腊版量表的心理测量特性,并评估该量表在全国范围内的可解释性。因子分析表明,16项量表保留了其双因子模型。通过与附加测量的关联来支持收敛效度,即生活意义问卷(MLQ)和康纳-戴维森弹性量表(CD-RISC),它们被用作参考标准。讨论了该方法的潜在效用和未来发展方向。
