Assessing attitude towards christianity among adolescents in South Africa: The Francis Scale

To facilitate cross-cultural research in the psychology of religion, a sample of 453 young people from Grades 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 attending a secondary school within the provincial-education department in South Africa completed the Francis scale of Attitude Towards Christianity. The data provide preliminary evidence that supports the reliability and validity of this instrument, and commend it for further examination across a wider and more representative sample of learners within other ethnic and language groups in South Africa.
