God representations are complex and there is no standard, relatively short, and easy to administer measure reflecting both anthropomorphic and abstract representations of God. We developed a new measure with five dimensions: Limitless, Authoritarian, Mystical, Benevolent, and Ineffable (the LAMBI scale). In Study 1, we used exploratory factor analysis to examine the factor structure of a preliminary list of 41 common adjectives that people might use to describe God. In Study 2, we identified the 25 best-fitting items, using confirmatory factor analysis to show that a five-factor model fit well, and began to validate the new scale using measures of religious commitment, individualistic spirituality, and Quest. In Study 3, we found the scale has good testretest reliability. In Study 4, we examined the contribution of the LAMBI scales in predicting conservatism, values, and beliefs, above and beyond two existing measures of God representations. In Study 5, we used latent profile analysis to identify four response patterns across the five dimensions: Relational, Abstract, Unbelief, and Amorphous (no differences across the five dimensions) and show little relation between these profiles and religious group membership. We conclude that the LAMBI scale assesses important individual differences in thinking about God and can potentially be used to predict beliefs and social attitudes.

上帝表征的五因素 LAMBI 度量的开发和验证。

上帝的表征是复杂的,并且没有标准的、相对较短且易于管理的措施来反映上帝的拟人化和抽象表征。我们开发了一个具有五个维度的新衡量标准:无限、权威、神秘、仁慈和不可言喻(兰比量表)。在研究 1 中,我们使用探索性因素分析来检查人们可能用来描述上帝的 41 个常用形容词的初步列表的因素结构。在研究 2 中,我们确定了 25 个最合适的项目,使用验证性因素分析表明五因素模型拟合良好,并开始使用宗教承诺、个人主义灵性和追求的措施来验证新量表。在研究 3 中,我们发现该量表具有良好的重测信度。在研究 4 中,我们研究了 LAMBI 量表在预测保守主义、价值观和信仰方面的贡献,超越了上帝表征的两种现有衡量标准。在研究 5 中,我们使用潜在概况分析来确定五个维度的四种反应模式:关系、抽象、不信和无定形(五个维度之间没有差异),并且显示这些概况与宗教团体成员资格之间几乎没有关系。我们得出的结论是 LAMBI 量表评估了思考上帝的重要个体差异,并可能用于预测信仰和社会态度。和无定形(在五个维度上没有差异),并且这些配置文件与宗教团体成员资格之间几乎没有关系。我们得出的结论是 LAMBI 量表评估了思考上帝的重要个体差异,并且可能被用来预测信仰和社会态度。 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 和无定形(在五个维度上没有差异),并且这些配置文件与宗教团体成员资格之间几乎没有关系。我们得出的结论是 LAMBI 量表评估了思考上帝的重要个体差异,并可能用于预测信仰和社会态度。
