Scale constructionOne area of research has been concerned with the development and testing of psychometric instruments. Research within this field has developed and tested measurements of religious orientation, religious social capital, and dissociative experiences. Moreover research has also sought to examine translations of established measures. Williams, E. (2010). The internal consistency reliability of the New Indices of Religious Orientation (NIRO) among cathedral worshippers. Mental Health, Religion and Culture, 13, 829-832.
