尽管声称宗教信仰具有普遍性，但宗教虔诚度量表在主体间管理或跨文化翻译和应用时是否具有相同的含义目前尚不清楚。本文使用最新的“超自然信仰量表”（SBS），介绍了如何验证宗教研究中所要求的测量不变性的强假设。对克罗地亚人和新西兰人这两个独立样本的比较表明，尽管有一个复杂的心理测量模型，除了两个非不变的截距外，SBS的测量不变性可以被证明。我们提出了一种新的方法来检查测量不变性跨自我和同行报告作为两个依赖的样本。虽然超自然信仰可能很难在其他人身上观察到，但对克罗地亚人和他们被提名的同龄人来说，测量模型是完全不变的。研究结果不仅首次建立了跨两个不同语言和文化群体的宗教超自然信仰的有效衡量标准，而且还证明了嵌套在同一目标中的可区分的双元组成员的一般不变性检验。需要做出更多努力来设计和验证跨文化适用的宗教虔诚度衡量标准。
Despite claims about the universality of religious belief, whether religiosity scales have the same meaning when administered inter-subjectively–or translated and applied cross-culturally–is currently unknown. Using the recent “Supernatural Belief Scale” (SBS), we present a primer on how to verify the strong assumptions of measurement invariance required in research on religion. A comparison of two independent samples, Croatians and New Zealanders, showed that, despite a sophisticated psychometric model, measurement invariance could be demonstrated for the SBS except for two noninvariant intercepts. We present a new approach for inspecting measurement invariance across self- and peer-reports as two dependent samples. Although supernatural beliefs may be hard to observe in others, the measurement model was fully invariant for Croatians and their nominated peers. The results not only establish, for the first time, a valid measure of religious supernatural belief across two groups of different language and culture, but also demonstrate a general invariance test for distinguishable dyad members nested within the same targets. More effort needs to be made to design and validate cross-culturally applicable measures of religiosity.
