In yet another article, Gorsuch (1990) contended that researchers should not develop
new scales until a clear need can be established on one of four bases: (1) existing measures
are not psychometrically adequate to the task; (2) conceptual or theoretical issues
demand modification of existing measures; (3) no existing measures appear useful within
a specific clinical population; or (4) there are no measures available for particular constructs.
Indeed, modification of existing measures, the second criterion listed above, is
sometimes necessary in this young and developing field, especially since people’s understanding
of religion appears, as noted earlier, to be undergoing change. Furthermore, religious
and spiritual measures designed for clinical populations (the third criterion above)
are rare, and new or revised measures for such populations may be necessary. And, surely,
with regard to the fourth criterion, there are specific functional or operational relationships
that religion and spirituality may have with other variables that call for specific new
measures (e.g., religious coping with stressful agents). All too often, however, Gorsuch’s
advice has been largely ignored and many new measures, some unnecessarily duplicating
other measures, have been constructed. In fact, since Hill and Hood’s (1999) edited volume
reviewing 125 scales, many new scales (some of which are discussed in this chapter)
have been developed, perhaps in some cases unnecessarily so.
