Abstract

The scale of Ritual Religius Harian Muslim or RRHM (Daily Moslem Religious Rituals) is a scale comprising seven daily Moslem religious rituals, classified into two categories, namely obligatory rituals and Sunnah rituals. In this research, the scale is applied towards 162 Moslem teenagers chosen from several high school in Bandung, Indonesia. The research aims at testing the validity of the scale construction, involving three validity analyses: 1) factorial validity analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, 2) convergent validity performed by finding correlation between RRHM and other religiosity instruments, and 3) discriminant validity performed by correlating RRHM with another variable-teenage mischief-which, theoretically, correlating negatively. Using Confirmatory Factor Analysis statistical method, it is found that RRHM has factors fitting two ritual categories, namely obligatory and Sunnah. Moreover, the scale shows both positive convergent and discriminant validity. The scale convergence is proven by the strong correlation between RRHM and the other religiosity instrument, namely Comprehensive Measure of Islamic Religiosity, with the coefficient placed at 0.349 and spirituality score placed at 0.469. The RRHM instrument also shows positive discriminant validity, for the instrument correlates negatively with the factor of mischief, placing coefficient at -0.491, making it in line with the main theory used. The implementation of the scale can be developed towards other subjects, such as Moslem adults. Furthermore, it is advised to perform different tests and hypothesis in measuring the extent to which the RRHM is able to verify developing theories in the psychology of religion or the psychology of religiosity and spirituality.
