Evaluation of Psychometric Properties of Hernandez's Religion and Spirituality Questionnaire (RaSSY)

In this study, we investigated the psychometric properties of the Religion and Spirituality Questionnaire for Children. The original version of the questionnaire consists of 37 questions that measure two factors affecting children's spirituality (coping with faith and religious activities / social support). The statistical population of the study consisted of 2200 elementary male students in the academic year 2015-2015. Subjects were 325 elementary students who were selected by multistage cluster random sampling using Morgan table. The validity of the questionnaire was investigated by exploratory factor analysis with principal component analysis and Cronbach's alpha method. The findings of factor analysis showed that by factor analysis of the questions and rotation of the results it was revealed by the twocomponent Varimax method that the number of these obtained components and the questions with these components had high factor loadings to a large extent. The questionnaire is consistent with the authors' findings. It was also found that both the whole questionnaire and all sub-tests had high reliability coefficient
