Abstract

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic led to an increase in the use of online platforms for Christian worship and emphasised the need for a simple psychometric instrument that is sufficiently general to assess affect responses to a range worship services. This paper reports on the development of the six-item Scale of Perceived Affect Response to Online Worship (SPAROW) during the third UK pandemic lockdown in 2021. The scale items were included in an online survey completed from January to July 2021 by 2,017 Anglicans living in England and 1713 Roman Catholics from the UK or the Republic of Ireland. Exploratory Factor Analysis (principal components extraction and varimax rotation) in the Anglican sample indicated a single-dimensional scale that had excellent internal consistency reliability for those who accessed pre-recorded services (α = .90, n = 1238) and live-streamed services (α = .91, n = 1492). Confirmatory Factor Analysis on the Roman Catholic sample using a Structural Equation Model showed a good fit to a single-dimensional scale.

引入网络崇拜感知情感反应量表(SPAROW):流行病期间仪式创新的心理测量评估

COVID-19大流行导致基督教敬拜在线平台的使用增加，并强调需要一种简单的心理测量工具，该工具必须足够通用，以评估对一系列敬拜服务的影响反应。本文报告了2021年英国第三次大流行封锁期间，六项在线崇拜感知情感反应量表(SPAROW)的发展情况。2021年1月至7月，2017名居住在英格兰的圣公会教徒和1713名来自英国或爱尔兰共和国的罗马天主教徒完成了一项在线调查。英国圣公会样本的探索性因子分析(主成分提取和最大变量旋转)表明，对于那些访问预记录服务的人来说，单维量表具有出色的内部一致性可靠性(α =。90, n = 1238)和直播服务(α =。91, n = 1492)。采用结构方程模型对罗马天主教样本进行验证性因子分析，结果表明其与一维尺度拟合良好。
