摘要：
This paper reports on the development of a novel 10-item scale that measures beliefs about aging as well as religious-based beliefs about aging. The Religious Beliefs and Aging Scale (RBAS) shows acceptable internal consistency (alpha = 0.74) and is bolstered by a strong correlation (r = 0.70) with the Brief Multidimensional Measure of Religiousness/Spirituality. Exploratory factor analysis elucidated two belief subscales: Afterlife (i.e., how age is experienced in the afterlife; alpha = 0.897) and Punishment (i.e., aging and dementia as a punishment for sin; alpha = 0.868). This scale can be used in research regarding end-of-life planning, ageism, and self-care practices.
