Abstract
This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Religious Orientation Test (ROT) (Idehen, 2001) with 1284 South African respondents. Participants were 323 learners (mean age = 15.81, SD = 1.24) and 961 university students (mean age = 20.08, SD = 2.44). They varied by religious affiliation (65.3% Christian, 17.1% Hindu, 11.1% Muslim). Females made up 73% of the sample. Data were analyzed for reliability of scores and construct validity. Findings suggest that scores from the ROT are reliable and the instrument has construct validity in a sample of South African students.
