本研究的目的在于设计并检验一个由组织宗教、主观宗教和宗教信仰三个主要成分组成的多维度晚年宗教虔诚度测量模型。在先前的研究中经常被忽视的宗教信仰维度，部分是通过询问对十诫的信仰来评估的。指定这些维度之间的关系的替代方法进行了探索，包括一阶和二阶因素模型。从估计这些验证性因素模型中得出的发现补充了额外的分析，这些分析检查了宗教信仰因素对外部标准测量（即生活满意度）的不同影响。在整个过程中，目标是为研究者提供一个实用的方法来评估宗教信仰的复杂多维因素模型的效用。
The purpose of this study is to devise and test a multidimensional measurement model of late life religiosity that is composed of three major components: organizational religiosity, subjective religiosity, and religious beliefs. The religious belief dimension, which has been overlooked frequently in prior research, is assessed in part with items that ask about belief in the Ten Commandments. Alternative ways of specifying the relationships among these dimensions are explored, including first- and second-order factor models. The findings that are derived from estimating these confirmatory factor models are supplemented with additional analyses that examine the differential impact of the religiosity factors on an external criterion measure (i.e., life satisfaction). Throughout, the goal is to provide investigators with a practical approach to evaluating the utility of complex multidimensional factor models of religiosity.
